<p>Disclosed is a connector arrangement for electrically interconnecting adjacent, parallel, spaced-apart printed circuit boards. The connector includes a housing having a mounting surface and passageway for receiving a pin-like male commoning element. The connector further includes a stamped, integral terminal mounted in the housing, which has a resilient female contact disposed in the pin-receiving passageway, and a board engaging portion which is secured to a first printed circuit board. A connector is provided on each printed circuit board to be electrically interconnected, and the pin-receiving passageways are aligned in registry. After installation of the connectors and printed circuit boards, the pin-like male commoning element is inserted through the passageways and apertures provided in each printed circuit board adjacent each passageway, so as to engage each female contact element of each connector to be interconnected. The connector arrangement allows heretofore unknown closer spacing of adjacent parallel spaced-apart printed circuit boards while requiring less mounting space.</p> |
