Electrically coupling printed circuit boards using a snap-fit connector

An electronic assembly, comprising:

• a first circuit board;
• a first electronic component associated with the first circuit board;
• a first trace extending between the first electronic component and a connection point associated with the first circuit board;
• a second circuit board;
• a second electronic component associated with the second circuit board;
• a second trace extending between the second electronic component and a through-hole associated with the second circuit board;
• and
• a snap-fit connector having a first portion coupled to the connection point associated with the first circuit board and a second portion provided within the through-hole associated with the second circuit board, the first portion of the snap-fit connector and the second portion of the snap-fit connector establishing an electrical connection between the first electronic component associated with the first circuit board and the second electronic component associated with the second circuit board.
