Abstract
A printed circuit board is installable into a slot of a cardedge connector such that contacts of the connector ride along electrically conductive, raised pads of the card. Each pad includes frontal edge segments which are inclined generally rearwardly toward a center axis of the pad so that if any of the contacts are laterally offset with respect to the center axis of its respective pad during installation, the offset contact will be re-directed toward the center axis in response to making engagement with one of the frontal edge segments.
