Abstract

An electrical connector for connecting two adjacent boards (eg. printed circuit boards) comprising an electrically insulating body(10; 58) on which are mounted conducting elements (20, 22; 50). Each element has a first portion (24; 69) for electrically contacting a part of one board, and a second portion (26; 74) for contacting a part of the adjacent board, so as to provide electrical connection therebetween. The insulating body (10) may lie between the boards to be interconnected.
