Abstract
An adjunct electrical connector (44-60) includes a mechanical line (52) added to a signal connector half (34) to increase power transfer between circuit boards (12, 24). The power connector includes contacts of a given cross-section to carry a given current with the contacts having a plurality of posts (50, 70) spaced apart and of a lesser cross-section to carry a fraction of the given current so as to distribute such current to thin conductive traces (32) on the said board half with said post being on the centers of holes in said printed circuit board (24).
