Contacts 18, 22 are used to carry signals, while contacts 36, 42 are used to carry ground.
Before insertion of daughter board connector - 5 element 20 into contact region 54 r tabs 58 bear against overhanging por~ions 60, owing to preloading forces, and precisely locate the contact points 48 so that they do not extend into contact region 54 so far that there would be jamming during insertion. When daughter board connector element 20 is inserted into contact region 54, contact pins 18 are received between forked prongs 26;
the upper ends of contacts 42 are bent back slightly by inclined surface 39 and received in recesses 45, and contacts 36 touch contact points 48 of contacts 42, as lS is shown in Fig. 5. Recesses 45 are provided so that contact portions 50 are only bent at the lower ends to prevent the very large insertion ~orces that would be C required if contact portions 50 were supported at two enc3s, In addition to providing ground connections without taking up any extra space on connector 10, a further advantage is that ground contact prongs 38 can be pravided on daughter boards 12 immediately adjacent to a row of signal contacts 22 to provide a short ground path to permit high-speed switching, Other Embodiments Other embodiments of the invention are within the scope o the ollowing claims.
