Abstract

See full text

A substrate connector utilizes a plurality of conductive terminals, each of which are held in a single terminal-receiving cavity of a substrate. The terminals of the connector have a hook-shape with a retention portions in the form of a fork having a central slot and two free ends spaced apart from the retention portion and which protrude out of their cavities for contacting contact pads on opposing circuit boards. The retention portions engage abutments formed in the cavities to hold the terminals in place but do so in a manner that permits the terminals to move in both the vertical and horizontal directions.
