A modular, snap-together clamping system for electrically interconnecting two printed circuit boards using a flexible circuit is provided. The clamping system comprises two inboard clamp members which are configured to cooperate with two generally complimentary outboard clamp members, so as to capture a portion of each of the printed circuit boards along with two end portions of the flexible circuit between the inboard clamp members and the outboard clamp members in a manner which facilitates electrical connection of each of the two printed circuit boards with the flexible circuit. The inboard clamp members are also configured to facilitate attachment of an interchangeable spacer thereto. The spacer is configured to facilitate desired positioning of the two printed circuit boards with respect to one another.
An inboard clamp member for use in an electrical connector assembly, the inboard clamp member comprising:
A spacer for use in an electrical connector assembly, the spacer comprising a spacer body configured to facilitate attachment of an inboard clamp member thereto.
An electrical connector assembly for electrically connecting two printed circuit boards to one another, the electrical connector assembly comprising:
