Abstract
A printed circuit board includes a rectangular array of substantially equally spaced rows and columns of surface mount connectors which are fixedly held to the board by means of cross-shaped connector holders which are disposed at the intersections of the rows and columns. In this fashion, there is achieved a substantial reduction in the number of holes which must be provided in the printed circuit board for connector attachment. This greatly facilitates wiring placement on printed circuit boards, particularly multi-layer boards.
