Abstract
Disclosed is an improved method of forming a two-storied type of PC card connector assembly. It comprises the steps of: attaching one card connector to one side of a printed circuit board; soldering the soldering tails of the signal terminals to the signal circuit pattern formed on the one side of the printed circuit board, and the soldering tails of the ground terminals to the through-holes made in the printed circuit board; attaching the other card connector to the other side of the printed circuit board (no ground terminal piece attached thereto); soldering the soldering tails of the signal terminals to the circuit pattern formed on the other side of the printed circuit board; press-fitting a separate ground terminal piece in the other card connector; and soldering the soldering tails of the ground terminal piece to the ground circuit pattern formed on the other side of the printed circuit board.
