Abstract
An electrical connection between spaced and parallel mother and daughter boards including terminals secured to the mother board and projecting toward the daughter board having a pivot link arm with a daughter board-engaging member at the free end of the link arm and a daughter board spring contact. A number of terminals are secured to the mother board all facing in the same direction so that upon movement of the daughter board in a direction parallel to the mother board the links pivot the daughter board down toward the mother board and bring contact pads on the daughter board in engagement with the spring contacts.
