Abstract: The method and the arrangement for the connection of a multipole connector to a circuit board (1), specifies that the circuit board (1) is provided with a plurality of blind holes (3), equivalent in number to and matching the location of terminals (4) extending out of the connector housing (2). The blind holes (3) are filled with solder paste (5) and the mechanical and electrical connection of the connector (2) with the circuit board (1) is carried out by reflowing the solder paste. Compared with the conventional technique utilizing through-drilled connection holes, the invention provides the advantage that conductor paths can be routed underneath the blind holes, soldering paste cannot get on the underside of the circuit board, and a tolerance compensation of the lengths of the terminals is insured without subjecting the circuit board to preload forces exerted by the terminals.

Abstract: A high density edgecard connector system includes a first row of cantilever contacts and a second row of cantilever contacts which are longer than those of the first row. The edgecard includes first and second rows of contact pads which are located differing distances from the bottom of the edgecard. Ribs are mounted on the edgecard between each of the contact pads in the first row and lift the cantilever contacts of the second row away from the surface of the edgecard in order to prevent cross connections between the cantilever contacts of the second row and the contact pads of the first row during insertion or withdrawal of the edgecard into or out of the connector. The ribs include ramps on either end and may be integrally molded with a spine which attaches to the bottom edge of the edgecard.
