Abstract
A connector includes connector pins that have a loop of conductor. The connector connects a first printed circuit board (PCB) to a second PCB with compression of the connector pins between the two boards. In response to compression of the connector, the connector pins make electrical contact with themselves through the loop, while also connecting pads of the first PCB to pads of the second PCB.
Claims18
A board-to-board connector, comprising:
- a housing;
- and
- connector pins to connect contacts of a first printed circuit board (PCB) to a second PCB, wherein a connector pin has a conductor in a loop, wherein in response to compression of the connector, the pin is to make electrical contact with itself through the loop.
A computer system comprising:
- a system board including a processor;
- a memory module including multiple memory devices;
- a connector to interconnect the system board to the memory module, the connector including:
- a housing;
- and
- connector pins to connect contacts of the system board to the memory module, wherein a connector pin has a conductor in a loop, wherein in response to compression of the connector, the pin is to make electrical contact with itself through the loop.
