Abstract
A circuit board defining a flange is used to interconnect conductors located on the flange with corresponding conductors of a conventional connector. The flange includes a key slot and two flange slots which promote alignment between the circuit board and the connector. The flange slots define a mouth with an angled edge which urge the connector into alignment with the flange slots.
