Abstract
An adapter arrangement for electrically connecting an upwardly directed first contact on a horizontal printed circuit board assembly with a generally upwardly directed second contact on an electronics module mounted on the PCB assembly, including a rigid adapter housing adapted for mounting on one end of the module, which housing contains a generally vertical conductor having a lower end connected by a downwardly directed lower terminal with the PCB assembly first contact, and an upper end connected by a generally downwardly-directed upper terminal with the electronics module second contact, characterized in that the lower adapter terminal is vertical, and the upper adapter terminal is downwardly inclined by an acute angle relative to the vertical. In a second embodiment, the adapter is sectional and includes upper and lower sections. In a third embodiment, an auxiliary adapter section is connected between the upper adapter section and the electronics module.
