ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for attaching components to a substrate to form an edge connector thereon. In particular, the invention is useful for attaching an edge connector to a printed circuit board. The connector components are provided in a form that can be mounted on one side of a substrate, such as in a pick-and-place operation. The connector components may include pins for male connectors or sockets for female connectors. The pins or sockets of the connector are removably coupled to a carrier, forming a carrier assembly. The carrier assembly is configured to operably engage a carrier support that is integrally formed with the printed circuit board substrate. After the connector components are fastened, as by soldering, to the printed circuit board, the carrier and carrier support can be removed to leave the connector attached to the printed circuit board. A shroud may be installed over the connector pins to provide a shrouded connector.
