ABSTRACT:
Electrical connector intended for use between spaced-apart parallel circuit boards comprises a rigid insulating housing having oppositely facing connector mating surfaces which are opposed to the surfaces of the circuit boards. Sheet metal conductors are contained in the housing assembly, each conductor having end portions which extend beyond the connector mating surfaces. Each conductor has an intermediate spring portion which is within the housing assembly so that the end portions of the conductors can be moved recessively into the housing with accompanying flexure of the spring. In use, the connector is clamped between the opposed surfaces of the circuit boards with the end portions of the conductors opposed to terminal pads on the circuit board surfaces. The spring portions of the conductors are flexed so that the end portions are urged against, and into, the terminal pads thereby to establish electrical contact. The connector is particularly intended for use under circumstances where the terminal pads are plated with tin-lead alloy.
