Abstract:
1. A solderless printed circuit board edge connector comprising: a housing including a first end and a second end, wherein at least a portion of an inner surface of the housing is non-conductive, wherein the non-conductive portion includes a cylindrical recess; a conductive cylindrical connector, the conductive cylindrical connector being positioned partially within the cylindrical recess of the housing and partially outside of the housing; a conductive center connector positioned within the conductive cylindrical connector; a first contact electrically connected to the conductive center connector positioned between the first and second ends of the housing; a second contact electrically connected to the conductive cylindrical connector positioned between the first and second ends of the housing; wherein the distance between the first and second contacts increases when the printed circuit board edge connector engages a printed circuit board.
