<p>Two PCB s 10, 30 may be mechanically and electrically connected together by arranging for one or more prongs 16 ,18, 20 of a first PCB 10 to locate in one or more holes 34, 36, 38 of a second PCB 30. The PCBs may be partly held together may having multiple prongs and holes, where the holes are displaced in a triangular arrangement (see figure 2 noting line A) so that the planar prongs are deflected (directions D1, D2). Preferably adjacent contacts on the two pcbs 14, 32 are then soldered together, preferably using wave or re-flow methods. Preferably there are three prongs and three holes, between the prongs are tabs (21, 23 figure 1) carrying connection contacts 14,15 . Recesses (22 figure 1) may be arranged between the prongs and tabs. Some of the prongs may carry solder plating 16, 18, and some may not, especially the middle 20 of three. The respective holes may 34,36 and may not 38 have contacts too.</p> |
