BOARD-TO-BOARD CONNECTOR CAPABLE OF READILY ELECTRICALLY CONNECTING TWO PARALLEL BOARDS TO EACH OTHER

摘要

In a connector having a plurality of conductive contacts assembled toan insulator, each of the contacts has unique structure for electricallyconnecting a first and a second board to each other. The first board has aprimary surface and a secondary surface opposed to each other. The secondboard has a principal surface facing the secondary surface with a space lefttherebetween. In the unique structure, a base portion is placed in the spaceand held by the insulator. A first elastic portion extends from the base portionto face a primary surface. A first contact portion is protruded from the firstelastic portion to come in contact with one of electrode patterns arranged on theprimary surface. A second elastic portion extends from the base portion. Asecond contact portion is protruded from the second elastic portion to come incontact with one of electrode patterns arranged on the principal surface.
