An electrical connector has a flexible printed circuit for interconnecting a mother board and two daughter boards. The electrical connector includes a connector housing that is attached to the bottom of a heat frame that holds the two daughter boards. The connector is secured to the mother board. The flexible printed circuit is looped around a compression plate in the housing and attached to the heat frame and daughter boards at each end by compression assemblies that press gold dot contacts of the flexible printed circuit against the daughter boards.
