Stacked printed circuit board assembly and contacts therefor

摘要

A stack of printed circuit boards are mechanically and electrically interconnected by a plurality of double ended contact members mounted in coaxial relationship in the boards. Each double ended contact member comprises a shrouded pin contact having a socket contact extending in a direction opposite to the pin contact. The socket contact of one double ended contact member in one board slidably engages with the shrouded pin contact of the double ended contact member in the next adjacent board. The contact members in the respective boards have cooperating standoff shoulders which space the boards apart a predetermined distance.
