Abstract
In one or more embodiments, one or more systems may comprise a system for leveraging a strain relief connector in a board connector or providing electrical power to a printed circuit board (PCB) retained in the board connector. A surface of the PCB is formed with a contact pad and a via is connected to the contact pad. The PCB is positioned in a first slot in the board connector and an electrically conductive bracket is positioned in a second slot in a strain relief connector. A bolt is advanced in a threaded passage to secure the PCB and the electrically conductive bracket in the board connector, wherein the electrically conductive bracket, the bolt and the contact pad form an electrical path from the electrical connector to the via in the PCB.
