Abstract
An electronics device is disclosed, including: a first printed circuit board having a plurality of through-holes; a second printed circuit board having a plurality of through-holes; a housing in which the first and second printed circuit boards are disposed, the first printed circuit board disposed above the second printed circuit board in the housing; and a connector attached to the housing and including a plurality of pins comprising first pins and a plurality of second pins, a length of the first pins being greater than a length of the second pins. Each of the first pins extends through one of the through-holes of the first printed circuit board and one of the through-holes of the second printed circuit board and thereby makes an electrical connection with the first and second printed circuit boards, and each of the second pins only extends through one of the through-holes of the second printed circuit board and thereby makes an electrical connection with the second printed circuit board.
