Abstract

A compensating circuit board connector for connecting two adjacent circuit boards includes two sockets and a jumper. Each socket includes at least one receiving terminal having a conducting portion with two opposite sidewalls. The sockets are disposed on the circuit boards, respectively, so the conducting portions of the receiving terminals of the sockets jointly form an accommodating space. The jumper is mated with the sockets and includes at least one jumper terminal. The jumper terminal, configured for being received in the accommodating space, includes a frame and two resilient portions. The frame, narrower than a spacing between the opposite sidewalls of each receiving terminal, extends through the conducting portions of the receiving terminals of the sockets. The resilient portions, provided respectively at two ends of the frame, extend outward to each press against the opposite sidewalls of the corresponding receiving terminal, thereby electrically connecting the receiving terminals of the sockets.

Dependent claims

A compensating circuit board connector for connecting two adjacent circuit boards, comprising:

two sockets, each comprising at least one receiving terminal, the receiving terminal having a conducting portion and a connecting portion, the conducting portion comprising two opposite sidewalls, wherein the two sockets are disposed on the two circuit boards, respectively, via the connecting portions of the receiving terminals such that the conducting portions of the receiving terminals of the two sockets jointly form an accommodating space;
and
a jumper, mated with the two sockets, the jumper comprising at least one jumper terminal configured for being received in the accommodating space, the jumper terminal comprising a frame and two resilient portions, the frame extending through the conducting portions of the receiving terminals of the two sockets and having a width smaller than a spacing between the two opposite sidewalls of the receiving terminal of each said socket, the two resilient portions being provided at two ends of the frame, respectively, and extending outward such that each said resilient portion presses against the two opposite sidewalls of a corresponding said receiving terminal.
