Abstract:
A printed circuit board assembly comprising:a first circuit board having a first circuit board first conductive surface and a first circuit board second conductive surface; a second circuit board having a second circuit board first conductive surface and a second circuit board second conductive surface; a hollow first conductive member, including a first end having a first conductive member first surface in contact with and electrically coupled to the first circuit board first conductive surface, a second end distal from the first end having a first conductive member second surface in contact with and electrically coupled to the second circuit board first surface and a compressible section urging said contact; and a second conductive member, disposed within the first conductive member and mechanically coupling the first circuit board and the second circuit board such that the two circuit boards are separated by a rigid portion of the second conductive member, the second conductive member having a second conductive member first surface electrically coupled to the first circuit board second surface and a second conductive member second surface distal from the second conductive member first surface electrically coupled to the second circuit board second conductive surface.
