ABSTRACT:
A ground connector and standoff apparatus or spring member for mounting between two circuit boards is of conductive material and has opposing substantially flat, parallel first and second legs and a spring link connecting the legs. In an uncompressed condition of the spring member, the legs are spaced apart a predetermined distance greater than the spacing between the two circuit boards when connected together. The first leg is connected to one of the circuit boards and the second leg bears against an opposing portion of the other circuit board to provide a ground connection when the boards are connected together, compressing the spring member. A limiter or spacer on the spring member limits compression beyond a predetermined point at which the height of the spring member is equal to a predetermined standoff between the boards.
