ABSTRACT:
A stacking connector is disclosed for connecting the conductive traces on a pair of printed circuit boards. A row of conductive pins are mounted on each of the boards, with each pin connected to one of the conductive traces on the board and aligned with a pin on the other board. The stacking connector includes a plurality of double ended tuning fork contacts, one for each set of aligned pins on the two boards. The tuning fork contacts embody detent recesses which cooperate with the pins to provide a mechanical latching of the contacts, as well as an electrical connection, to the pins on the boards.
