Abstract:
A method for electrically connecting a first electrode terminal array on a first electronic board unit and a second electrode terminal array on a second electronic board unit, said method comprising:forming a connector device by integrally joining a press-contact connector with a clip member, wherein said press-contact connector comprises conductor bodies, said clip member is formed of metallic material, and said clip member comprises clipping parts;securing said connector device to said first electronic board unit by clipping a periphery of said first electronic board unit with said clipping parts at a position that is not on said first electrode terminal array of said first electronic board unit such that said first electrode terminal array is in contact with said conductor bodies of said press-contact connector;bringing said conductor bodies of said press-contact connector into contact with said second electrode terminal array on said second electronic board unit; andcompressing said press-contact connector between said first electrode terminal array and said second electrode terminal array so as to electrically connect said first electrode terminal array and second electrode terminal array through said conductor bodies of said press-contact connector.
