ABSTRACT:
A board edge electrical connector 60 includes a housing 12 having a plurality of first and second terminal members 64,74 each having a respective contact section 68,78 extending in a corresponding first or second row 66,76 from the board engaging face 18, the rows 66,76 being opposed to each other and defining a board receiving entrance 84 therebetween. Each first row contact section 68 includes respective contact surface 70 adapted to engage a corresponding circuit board 42 at a first position 43 on a first major board surface 40. Each second row contact section 78 is adapted to engage a second major board surface 46 at both a second position 53 proximate the board edge and a third position 54 farther from the board edge 52 than the first position 43 with each second row contact section 78 to be electrically connected to a corresponding board circuit 48 at at least one of the positions. The second and third positions 53,54 are axially offset from each other and from the first position 43 enabling the second row contact sections 78 to engage the board 38 under spring bias at respective positions 53,54 staggered from the first position 43. The arrangement altogether defines a stable board support with minimal rotation.
