<p>A connector (10) for electrically interconnecting adjacent, parallel, spaced-apart printed circuit boards (A, B, C etc.) includes a housing (12) having a mounting surface (22 or 24) and passageway (26) for receiving a pin-like male commoning element (84 or 72). The connector further includes a stamped, integral terminal (14) mounted in the housing, which has a resilient contact (42) disposed in the pin-receiving passageway (26), and a board engaging portion (18 and/or 20) which is secured to at least a first printed circuit board. A connector (10) is provided on each printed circuit board to be electrically interconnected, and the pin-receiving passageways (26) are aligned in registry. After installation of the connectors (10) and printed circuit boards (A, B, C), the pin-like male commoning element (84 or 72) is inserted through the passageways (26) and apertures (74, 76 or 86b, 86c, 86d) provided in each printed circuit board adjacent each passageway (26), so as to engage each contact (42) of each connector (10) to be interconnected. </p> |
