<p>Disclosed is a transducer connector which overcomes limitations in the prior art by allowing significant reduction in connector size and weight. Key attributes of this invention are electrical contacts (34) incorporated onto a printed circuit board (31), a folding latch assembly (13), and the use of lightweight, rigid materials for fabrication. Additionally, the mating half of the connector may be mounted directly on a printed circuit board (40) implementing circuitry for a diagnostic ultrasound instrument, thus saving weight, volume, and complexity.</p> |
