Abstract
A connector (10) for electrically connecting a daughter board (200) and a mother board (100) includes a base (12) securely mounted/riveted on the mother board (100) and a cover (26) horizontally slidably attached to the base (12) by means of a cam lever (18). A plurality of passageways (36) obliquely extend through the cover (26) for receiving therein a corresponding number of slanted contacts (38) wherein the bottom end (40) of each contact (38) projects out of the cover (26). The daughter board (200) is disposed under the cover (26) whereby the bottom end (40) of each contact (38) is mechanically and electrically engaged with a corresponding circuit pad (202) on the daughter board (200). The upper ends (42) of the contacts (38) are connected by soldier to one end of an FPC (300) (Flexible Printed Circuits) which is connected to the mother board (100) at the other end whereby the daughter board (200) can be electrically interconnected to the mother board (100) through the connector (10) and the associated FPC (300).
