Improvements relating to electrical connectors.

摘要

An electrical connecting arrangement is provided between an electrical edge connector and a printed circuit board in which contact pads provided near the edge of the printed circuit board have a convex profile at least in the direction of insertion of the board into an opening in the edge connector. The depth of the connector opening and the distance of the contact pads from the board edge is such that during insertion of the board into the connector contact springs of the latter ride up and over the convex profile of the pads and come to rest beyond the centre line of the convex profile when the board is fully inserted.
