ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector for use in connecting one printed circuit board to another printed circuit board in which the electrical contacts of one board exert zero-force on the electrical contacts of the other board. The connector includes a housing of generally U-shaped configuration having a receptacle into which the contacts of one circuit board are inserted to make electrical contact with flexible contacts in the receptacle of the connector, the flexible contacts normally being farther apart than the entrance opening into the receptacle so that there is no force imposed on the contacts entering the receptacle. A spring driver in the receptacle forces the flexible contacts into firm electrical contact with the contacts entering the receptacle only after the latter has been fully inserted into the receptacle.
