Abstract
A circuit board connector assembly mounted in a housing and method of mounting are described. The assembly has orthogonal first and second circuit boards (CB). The CB has a CB connector containing a CB housing with CB electrical contacts. A flexible electrical link has a link connector mounted in a link connector housing with link electrical contacts. A resilient pad is mounted on a link connector housing and a flexible sheet is mounted to both the pad and the link. The sheet spans a length of the link. When the length of the link is substantially planar, the sheet provides a ramp tapering away from the pad. During mounting of the assembly in the housing, the CB connector is operatively coupled to the link connector thereby forming a first connector assembly, and an abutment edge of the second circuit board slidably engages the sheet thereby compressing the pad.
