The lower arm extends in a second direction which is generally perpendicular to the upper arm. The lower arm has a free end for engaging with the mother board. The upper arm has a free end with a curved edge ( ) for engaging with the daughter board. The curved edge works in a plane that is mutually perpendicular to the first and second directions, facing the first direction.
