ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly is adapted for electrically connecting a printed circuit board with another electrical device, the circuit board having a mating edge with a generally linear array of contact pads along the edge on each opposite side of the board. An elongated dielectric housing has a cavity along its length for receiving the mating edge of the printed circuit board, and a plurality of narrow closely-spaced slots extending transversely of the cavity. Each slot is adapted for receiving a unitary thin contact member having a singular base portion traversing the cavity with opposed spring contact arms extending from the singular base portion into the slot, and with distal ends of the contact arms engageable with the contact pads on both opposite sides of the printed circuit board. A plurality of pairs of thin contact members are mountable on the housing to form a closely-spaced linear terminal array lengthwise of the cavity. One pair of the contact members is located in each slot in the housing. One contact member in each pair thereof has a spring contact arm extending from a base into the slot with a distal end engageable with a contact paid on one side of the printed circuit board.
