Circuit board connector

An electronic device comprising:

• a housing including a first printed circuit board and a second printed circuit board spaced from the first printed circuit board in a first direction;
• a first printed circuit board connector electrically coupled to the first printed circuit board;
• a second printed circuit board connector opposite the first printed circuit board connector electrically coupled to the first printed circuit board;
• a flexible ribbon having a first end electrically coupled to the first printed circuit board connector and a second end electrically coupled to the second printed circuit board;
• and
• a circuit board to circuit board connector (“BTB connector”) configured to be mounted to the first printed circuit board, the BTB connector including
• a frame having a base,
• a backing plate formed on the base configured to bias the first printed circuit board connector to the first printed circuit board, and
• a pair of support arms extending from the base, the pair of support arms each having
• a lock configured to receive the first printed circuit board and axially constrain the frame to the first printed circuit board in the first direction, and
• a stop configured to abut the second printed circuit board connector;
• and
• wherein the flexible ribbon applies a rotational moment to the frame about a rotational axis extending in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction;
• and
• wherein the stop is configured to rotationally constrain the first printed circuit board connector to the first printed circuit board about the rotational axis in response to the rotational moment from the flexible ribbon.

A method of mounting a circuit board to circuit board connector (“BTB connector”) to a printed circuit board, the printed circuit board extends along a longitudinal axis and includes a first printed circuit board connector and a second printed circuit board connector, the BTB connector includes a frame having a base with a backing plate formed on the base, a pair of support arms extending from the base, the pair of support arms each have a lock for receiving the printed circuit board, a stop for abutting the second printed circuit board connector, and a catch for receiving the second printed circuit board connector, the method comprising:

• aligning the frame with the first printed circuit board connector so the backing plate can slide over the first printed circuit board connector and the catch on each of the support arms can receive the second printed circuit board connector;
• sliding the lock on each of the support arms into engagement with the printed circuit board to receive the printed circuit board therein;
• sliding the catch on each of the support arms into engagement with the second printed circuit board connector to receive the second printed circuit board connector therein;
• and
• abutting the stop on each of the support arms into engagement with the second printed circuit board connector to rotationally constrain the first printed circuit board connector to the printed circuit board about a rotational axis oriented orthogonal to the longitudinal axis.
