Abstract

The connector is for receiving the edge of a printed circuit board and making contact with the pads along the edge thereof. The connector has a body in which is positioned a plurality of longitudinally arranged U-shaped sockets which receive the edge of the board. Formed points are located in the sockets at a different distance from the bottom of the socket. These points are spaced so that the board may slide therebetween and then, as the board is turned in the socket, it engages the points to make assured contact.
