Abstract

A printed circuit board upon which are mounted a number of electronic components is provided with a connector strip for electrically coupling the components to respective components on a second circuit board located underneath. The strip comprises a body portion and pins projecting thereform. The pins have a stepwise configuration with a first end portion extending through apertures in the upper circuit board and connected to a second connector strip on the second circuit board, a second end portion extending through the body portion, and a middle portion which abuts the surface of the upper circuit board and by which the strip is connected to the upper circuit board by means of a solder joint. Components on the upper circuit board are electrically coupled by means of tracks which are connected to the components at one end by a solder joint and at the other end by a solder joint, via pins, to the second connector strip and tracks on the lower circuit board.
