Electrical connectors for use with printed circuit boards

A connector for electrically connecting a PCB with a conductor, comprising:

• a movable housing mountable proximate to the PCB;
• and
• at least one connecting terminal carried by the housing having an at least partially exposed end which is moveable with the housing to selectively electrically engage or disengage a contact pad formed on the PCB,
• wherein a portion of the connecting terminal is arranged to engage a conductor, and,
• wherein the housing at least one of slides or rotates relative to the PCB to engage the electrical contact pad thereon.

A connector for electrically connecting a first printed circuit board (PCB) with a second PCB, comprising:

• a housing mountable proximate to a first and second PCB;
• at least one connecting terminal carried by the housing having opposed ends each of which are moveable with the housing to selectively electrically engage or disengage a contact pad formed on each respective PCB;
• and
• a resilient holding element engageable with at least one of a mounting structure supporting the first and second PCBs or at least one of the first or second PCBs to retain the housing and the connecting terminal in electrical engagement with the contact pad.
