Abstract
A LIDAR sensor assembly includes a main board, a board-to-board connector assembly, and a sensor component board. The main board has an edge. The board-to-board connector assembly is located on the main board and includes a housing. The housing includes a feature that aligns an angular orientation of the housing relative to the main board by engagement of the feature of the housing with the edge of the main board. The board-to-board connector also includes connector pins that are connected to the main board and are disposed within the housing. The sensor component board is connected to the main board by the connector pins of the board-to-board connector assembly to allow pivoting of the sensor component board relative to the main board over a limited angular range.
