Patent attributes
An electrical connector includes an elongated housing having a daughter-card receiving on a first surface and mother-card receiving channel on a second surface thereof and extending along a lengthwise direction for receiving a daughter-card member and mother-card member. Respective daughter-card engagement slots and mother-card member slots are defined on opposed ends of housing, each slot extending from the first surface and second surface and along a transverse direction. The slots are laterally separated from the receiving channel for receiving lateral edge portions of the daughter-card member. A central line of each slot is aligned with a central line of the receiving channel in the lengthwise direction such that configuration of the slots will allow for the daughter card member and mother-card member to be held coplanar with respect to a middle plane of the channel, thereby establishing an effective electrical connection between the connector and the daughter-card member and the mother-card member.
