ABSTRACT:
This specification discloses a low-insertion-force connector for connecting a daughter printed circuit board to a mother board. A G- or U-shaped contact is disposed in a housing so that spring arms penetrate opposing sides of the cavity. Mating ramp surfaces and latches on latch arms center the connector in the housing and urge contact pads into electrical and mechanical contact with a base circuit board. Shrouds on the housing protect various portions of the connector from harmful contact with the edge of a printed circuit board when being mounted in the housing.
