  • Retention key lock for board-to-board connectors
    Patent number: 9225115
    Abstract: Board-to-board connectors that consume a minimal amount of board area, are simple to assemble, and provide a clear indication that a proper connection has been made. One example may consume minimal area, since only a retention key and slots in boards and connectors are needed. The connector may be simple to assemble since it may be as simple as stacking components, pushing down, and turning a retention key. Further, a first and a first line on a key and a cowling may be aligned after assembly to provide a clear indication that the connector has been properly assembled.
