SYSTEM FOR INTERCONNECTING PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS

摘要

A system for communicating between multiple electrical components includes a first printed circuit board (PCB) having first and second opposed layers and a plurality of plated through-holes extending between the first and second opposed layers. The system also includes a plurality of mating contacts, wherein each of the plurality of mating contacts is retained within one of the plurality of plated through-holes. Each of the plurality of mating contacts may include a first end portion that outwardly extends from the first layer, and a second end portion that outwardly extends from the second layer. The system may also include a first connector assembly having a plurality of interconnecting contacts retained therein. The plurality of interconnecting contacts mate with the first end portions of the plurality of mating contacts when the first connector assembly connects to the first PCB.
