Abstract
A connector assembly for a electrically interconnecting two printed circuit board like members comprises a connector member for being mounted on a first printed circuit board like member. The connector member includes generally parallel-spaced electrical conductors for being electrically connected to electrical circuitry positioned on the first printed circuit board like member when the connector member is mounted on the first printed circuit board like member. The electrical conductors are positioned along at least one side of an opening which extends along the connector member and which is adapted to receive a second printed circuit board like member having electrical circuitry thereon. The connector member and/or the second printed circuit board like member are configured in such a way that the second printed circuit board like member can be rotated relative to the connector member during insertion into and withdrawal from the opening in the connector member without breaking or otherwise damaging the connector member or the second printed circuit board like member. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, an alignment block is mounted on the connector member and is po…
