ABSTRACT:
An apparatus (50) is configured to be positioned between an electrical connector (32) and a printed circuit board (14) to strengthen the printed circuit board (14). The electrical connector (32) has at least one location peg (44) extending therefrom for aligning the electrical connector (32) relative to the printed circuit board (14). The apparatus (50) includes a generally L-shaped body member having a first leg (54) configured to abut an end edge (63) of the printed circuit board (14) and a second leg (56) configured to abut a surface of the printed circuit board (14) adjacent the end edge (63). The second leg (56) is formed to include at least one aperture (60) for receiving the at least one location peg (44) of the electrical connector (32) therein to couple electrical connector (32) to the body member. Preferably, the printed circuit board (14) is formed to include a notched portion (52) adjacent the end edge (63). The second leg (56) of the L-shaped body member is configured to lie within the notched portion (52).
