Abstract
A plug and socker connector for a printed circuit board has the socket part open at the bottom so that it can be attached to the board by latches engaging in openings in the board, leaving conductive tracks on the board exposed within the socket part. A plug has external resilient contacts so that when the plug is inserted in the socket, the contacts press against the conductive tracks of the board. Other fastening means for holding the socket against the board are disclosed, and the socket can be double so that a plug can be inserted on either side of the board.
