Abstract
An electrical connector and an apparatus for providing staging of electrical connections between a motherboard and a daughterboard is disclosed. An angled insulator having first and second legs forms a pie-shaped cavity for receiving one edge of a printed circuit board. The first leg forms a fulcrum about which the printed circuit board is rotated until it abuts an alignment surface of an electrically insulating stiffener formed in the second leg. A second connector is used for providing staging of electrical connections. Protective end caps prevent the insertion of a printed circuit board until it is properly aligned.
