ABSTRACT:
This invention is directed to an electrical connector for sequentially connecting plural contacts provided along the respective mating surfaces of a pair of planar electronic devices, where the devices are joined to or mounted within a pair of pivotally arranged housing members. The connector comprises a first housing mounted to one of the planar devices, such as a mother board, where first housing includes an open end and a closed end, and a second housing mounting the other planar electronic device, such as a daughter board, second housing includes an open end and a closed end, and that the respective closed ends include cooperative means for hingely engaging each other. By this arrangement, as the planar electronic devices are pivotally moved about the cooperative means from a nonparallel position to a parallel position of electrical engagement, the respective plural contacts between the planar electronic devices enter into engagement in a sequentially predetermined order.
