ABSTRACT:
An elongated printed circuit (PC) board connector having a plurality of terminal pins aligned in a linear array has attached to its terminal pins an elongated, linear, U-shaped bus bar with a plurality of apertures in its lower edge. A plurality of U-shaped conductors are inserted through respective pairs of edge apertures in the bus bar, with the distal ends of each of the conductors adapted for coupling to a terminal on a PC board upon which the connector is mounted by means of a pair of support columns and nut/bolt combinations. The bus bar, terminal pins and conductor combination is then dip soldered to establish mechanical coupling and electrical connection therebetween. The shorting bus bar electrically couples the conductors to the terminal pins, with each conductor coupled across a plurality of terminal pins which are thus maintained at the same voltage to maintain the bus bar at a constant, uniform voltage over its entire length and to provide this well-defined voltage level to the PC board terminals.
