Electrical connector between a pair of printed circuit boards

摘要

The subject invention is an electrical connector for a pair of printed circuit boards which utilizes a vertical pin header connected to one printed circuit board and a right angle receptacle connected to the other printed circuit board. The printed circuit boards are to be connected together by the electrical connector in a right angle relationship with one printed circuit board being located edgewise to the other printed circuit board. A mass of separate positive circuit paths is obtained from one printed circuit board to the other with the distance between contacts which form these circuit paths to be approximately two millimeters. The vertical pin header and the right angle receptacle are fixedly mounted on their respective printed circuit boards without the use of solder. The right angle receptacle matingly connects with the vertical pin header in only one position.
