  • Patent number: 4738625
    Abstract: Disclosed is a connector module for making electrical contact between two essentially parallel boards which include contact pads on the edges. The connector includes at least one conductive member adapted to extend from a pad on one board to a corresponding pad on the other board. The connector also includes an insulating support member formed to extend from the top of one board, around the edge of that board, and to the top of the other board. This support member fixes the distance between the boards, permits the conductive members to make electrical contact for test purposes prior to clamping, and provides an appropriate clamping force for the connection to the first board.
