  • Patent number: 5743751
    Abstract: A straddle adapter includes first and second plates and a side end. The side end joins the first and second plates at an edge such that the first and second plates are spaced apart and substantially parallel to each other. An edge of a printed circuit board is received between inner surfaces of the first and second plates. The outer surfaces of the first and second plates include snap connectors or other structure for mounting separate first and second edge connectors thereto. The adapter maintains the edge connectors at a predetermined separation distance. The inner surfaces of the first and second plate include deformable rails that deform as the edge of the circuit board is inserted between the first and second plates. The deformable rails compensate for variations in thickness of the circuit board and secure the adapter to the circuit board.
