Abstract:
A right angle board-to-board connector comprising:a plurality of connector pins; each of said connector pins having a generally right angle configuration and being spaced apart by a substantially uniform spacing along first and second mating connector faces; said plurality of connector pins including staggered lateral offsets in first and second directions between said plurality of connector pins along one of said first and second mating connector faces providing separation at each crossover location between adjacent connector pins; each of said connector pins having substantially equal length; an upper connector pin of said plurality of connector pins having a lateral offset in said first direction from a middle connector pin being connected to an inner circuit board opening; said middle connector pin of said plurality of connector pins being connected to a middle circuit board opening; said middle circuit board opening being spaced apart from said inner circuit board opening by said lateral offset in said first direction; and a lower connector pin of said plurality of connector pins having a lateral offset in said second direction from a middle connector pin being connected to an outer circuit board opening; said outer circuit board opening being spaced apart from said middle circuit board opening by said lateral offset in said second direction.
