Abstract
A board-to-board connector comprises a female portion, a plurality of conductive contacts, a male portion, and interlocking means provided on the female portion and the male portion. Plate connectors, end walls, and positioning protrusions of the male portion are snugly received in parallel slots, lateral slots, and positioning recesses of the female portion, respectively. Plate connectors of the male portion abut the contacts received in the female portion and positioning protrusions of the male portion interlock with positioning recesses of the female portion thereby establishing and ensuring a consistent electrical connection within the connector.
