Abstract

A method for the construction of a high density electrical connector for connecting a printed circuit board with a burn-in board in a burn-in system. The method comprises the steps of attaching a standard edge connector to a printed circuit board to form a first set of contacts, attaching two outer contact strips to the printed circuit board to form a second set of contacts, and enclosing the outer contact strips and the edge connector in an outer housing. The edge connector and the outer contact strips are secured to the printed circuit board through soldering. A burn-in board having a plurality of contact pads thereon can be inserted into the electrical connector such that the contact pads come into contact with the first and second set of contacts.
