ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector for connecting a first printed circuit board to a second printed circuit board has terminal contacts which provide a reliable electrical connection. The contact terminals are positioned adjacent to a board receiving recess, and are configured to make an electrical connection with the second printed circuit board when the second printed circuit board is rotated to a second position. Overstress projections provided on the contact terminals cooperate with shoulders of the electrical connector to prevent contact terminals from being deformed as the second printed circuit board is moved relative to the contact terminals. Contact projections are positioned on the contact terminals proximate a resilient contact arm. The contact projections electrically engage the resilient contact arm when the second printed circuit board is in the second position.
