ABSTRACT:
A miniature circuit board edge connector having a very short electrical contact path is taught. Briefly stated, an insulative housing has contained therein a resiliently flexible contact holder which has electrically conductive contacts pivotally attached thereto. A camming device is disposed on top of the contact holder so as to cause resilient flexing of the contact holder. Flexing of the contact holder causes the contacts to pivot downward and outward from the contact holder and thereby come in contact with an electrically conductive path on a daughter board which is adjacent thereto and also with a conductive post which is mounted in the base of the connector assembly and attached to a mother board. The electrical path between the daughter board circuit path and the mother board conductive posts through the contact is very short and in a slightly arcuate manner which minimizes inductive, capacitive and propagation delay effects which may come about.
