Abstract
Connector for right angle printed circuit board interface comprises two-piece dielectric housing with right angle contact elements therein each having a first arm and a second arm with respective first and second ends. First ends are pins fixed to a daughter card while second ends are compliant with surface contacts on a mother board. Compliance is provided by lateral flexure of first arms while the second arms move axially as second ends bear against surface contact. The second arms have bearing portions at an oblique angle to the board which are resiliently disposed against like angled surfaces in the housing so that second ends shift laterally during application to provide wiping. An aligning fixture on the mother board also serves as keying means.
