<p>Disclosed is an improvement in an electric connector for connecting two spaced apart parallel printed circuit boards (34, 35) having a plurality of needle-like pin terminals (4) arranged laterally at regular intervals between its upper and lower wafers (2, 3), the upper and lower extensions (13, 14) of the needle-like pin terminals extend beyond the upper and lower wafers (2, 3) being connected to selected conductors on upper and lower printed circuit boards (34, 35). According to the present invention the needle-like pin terminals (4) freely pass through the longitudinal pin-receiving openings (11, 12) made in the upper and lower wafers, and metal tie rods (5A, 5B) are press-fit in opposite longitudinal rod-insertion apertures (22, 23) made at the opposite ends of the upper and lower wafers, and are detachably fixed thereto, thereby constituting a rigid integrity. If it is desired that another couple of printed circuit boards are to be separated a shorter or longer distance, the pin terminals (4) and tie-rods (5A, 5B) are simply removed from the upper and lower wafers (2, 3), and the ones of appropriate length for spanning the shorter or longer distance are inserted in the upper and lower wafers. <IMAGE> <IMAGE></p> |
