Printed circuit board edge connector

摘要

This specification discloses a terminal for coupling to the edge of a printed circuit board with two cooperating springs to permit a reduced terminal size with increased contact pressure. The springs are restrained in a partly deflected position so they are preloaded and can provide an increased contact pressure with respect to an undeflected spring. One of the springs transmits a resisting force supplied in part by the other spring and by a forward foot which engages a portion of the terminal.
