ABSTRACT:
Connector for electrically connecting generally rigid circuit boards together comprises at least one electrically conductive member having opposing ends and a connection lead at each end thereof. Each lead is constructed and arranged to be connected to a connection location of an associated circuit board using a surface mounting technique, for example re-flow soldering. The conductive member has a flexible bridging portion between the leads. The bridging portion is constructed and arranged to have a first linear dimension between the leads in an unbiased condition and is capable of being expanded to have an expanded linear dimension between the leads greater than the first linear dimension, and being compressed to have a compressed linear dimension between the leads less than the expanded linear dimension, such that when the connector is interconnecting the two circuit boards, one circuit board may be moved with respect to the other circuit board so that the circuit boards may face each other in spaced relation with the circuit boards being movable toward and away from each other to adjust the spacing therebetweeen.
