Abstract: An adapter is interposed between a device having a pattern of pins projecting therefrom and a PCB having contacts connected to various components. The body of the adapter is made of platable dielectric material and is formed with holes corresponding to the pattern of pins of the device and also along one or more edges with pads corresponding in number to the holes. The holes are plated with conductive material which may be used to establish electrical contact with the pins; however, preferably clips are installed in each hole and in electrical contact therewith, the clips having converging fingers which frictionally engage the pins and also electrically contact the same. Electrically conductive traces are located on the body, each having a first end connected to the plating of a hole and a second end leading to one of the pads. The traces may be formed by a plate and etch process similar to that used in PCB fabrication.
