ABSTRACT:
An electrical shielding arrangement is provided wherein an edge connector (5) interconnects first and second circuit boards (1, 16). One of the boards (1) on which the edge connector lies includes a metal ground plane (2) and a plated through hole (3) which extends through the board and which makes effective contact with the metal ground plane. The plated through hole receives a metal fixing pin (4) of compliant metal which extends from the connector body (30) and is press fit into the hole (3). The forward end of the pin is positioned to engage a conductive layer (20s) at the leading edge of the second board, which is connected to the ground plane (19) of the second board. Thus, the pin (3) interconnects the ground planes (2, 19) of the two boards.
