Abstract

A circuit board comprises a substrate, a connector part, and a mounting mechanism attaching the connector part to the substrate at an edge thereof in a manner allowing forcible movement of the connector part relative to the substrate in a direction having a component perpendicular both to its edge and to a line normal to the substrate. When the substrate is held stationary relative to a connector part that is complementary to the first-mentioned connector part and is presented toward the first-mentioned connector part, the mounting mechanism can be employed to advance the first-mentioned connector part into engagement with the complementary connector part.
