Assembly including an electrical connector and a pair of printed circuit boards

摘要

An electrical connector includes a conductive casing and a conductive probe disposed within the casing. The probe may be in a concentric relationship with the casing. The probe is insulated from the casing as by a first insulating sleeve which may be disposed in a concentric relationship with the casing and the probe. A first electrical assembly such as a first printed circuit board has an opening for a disposition of the casing in the opening in the board in an insulated relationship with the board. A first end of the probe may pass through an opening in the first sleeve for connection to a terminal external to the connector. A second end of the probe may pass through an opening in a second insulating sleeve disposed in the casing and then may pass through an opening in a second electrical assembly such as a second printed circuit board in an insulated relationship to the casing. A plug may be disposed within the casing to position the second insulator fixedly within the casing. One of the boards may be a motherboard and the other board may be a daughterboard. One of the boards may be disposed in a transverse relationship to the other board.
