<p>An edge connector (1) comprises a housing (2) having an aperture (3) in which an edge (6) of a circuit board (7) is received. One or more connector pins (12) (13) extending from the housing each have a sharp-edged contact region (19), plated with a ductile metallic material such as tin or lead, and capable of penetrating and deforming a similarly plated contact pad (20) to establish a low resistance electrical connection therebetween. The housing (2) and the circuit board (7) are pivotable with respect to one another between a first position in which there is clearance between the connector pins (12) (13) and the contact pads (20) present on the circuit board, and a second position in which they are in electrical contact one with the other. Securing means such as resilient clips (25) (26) (30) (34) hold the circuit board with respect to the housing (2) in the second position.</p> |
