<p>A connector assembly (10) is provided for electrically connecting closely-spaced circuit elements disposed on two printed circuit boards one of which (14) has a mating edge (16) and a surface with a linear array of contact pads adjacent the edge. An elongate dielectric housing (18) has a cavity (26) along its length for receiving the mating edge (16) of the one printed circuit board. The housing is mountable to the other of the printed circuit boards. A plurality of thin contact members (30) are mounted on the housing to form a closely-spaced linear terminal array. Each contact member is adapted to engage a contact pad when the one printed circuit board is inserted into the cavity. Each contact member has a mounting socket (40) and the housing has a mounting post (42) positionable in the mounting socket to seat the contact member on the housing. <IMAGE></p> |
