Abstract
This invention relates to a connector wafer for interconnecting a vertical receptacle and a printed circuit board and a connector assembly for interconnecting parallel circuit boards. The connector wafer has an insulative block, locating pins providing for an interference fit into the printed circuit board, an attachment fork for receiving a locating pin on the vertical receptacle, passages for receiving terminal tails of the female receptacle, and standoffs providing a space between a side of the connector connector wafer and an opposing mating side of the vertical female receptacle. The connector assembly is an assembly of the connector wafer and the vertical receptacle.
