ABSTRACT:
A System and Method for the multi-contact co-planar or nearly co-planar edge-to-edge electrical connection of printed circuit boards that embodies an electrical connection between the printed circuit boards and a rigid latching physical connection between the printed circuit boards. Electrical and physical connections of PCBs are simultaneously accomplished by the user through a quick and easy connection and disconnection mechanism without damage to any components. A latching mechanism on the second PCB cooperates with a shaped mating end of a first PCB whereby the second PCB slides onto and latches with the first PCB. Cantilever beam springs on either side of the second PCB permits the two PCB's to positively engage one another to form a stable rigid connection of the two PCB's.
