ABSTRACT:
A bridge connector that is configured to electrically and mechanically couple first and second circuit boards is provided. Each circuit board includes a board surface having through-holes. The connector includes a housing having a coupling side configured to interface with the board surfaces when the housing is coupled to the first and second circuit boards. The connector also includes a plurality of bridge contacts that are held within the housing. Each contact includes tail portions that project from the coupling side. Each tail portion is configured to form an interference fit with a corresponding through-hole in order to couple the first and second circuit boards. The tail portions are arranged to hold the first and second circuit boards along the coupling side.
