Abstract
In a system including a motherboard and a daughterboard a receptacle is disposed in an insulated housing mounted on the motherboard while a pin is disposed on the daughterboard. The receptacle comprises a socket and an integral threaded shank, the socket portion having an enlarged collar with an abutment surface thereon. The receptacle has a central and axial passage. The collar is larger than the dimension of an opening extending through the motherboard while the shank is sized to pass therethrough and to present the threads to the second surface thereof. A threaded nut engages with the threads on the shank accessible from the second surface of the motherboard. When the nut is threaded onto the shank the receptacle is held mechanically to the motherboard and into electrical connection with a conductive path thereon.
