Abstract

A method for reducing the fitting thrust of golden finger (101,103) and a PCB (100). The method and the PCB (100) solve the problem of excessive inserting force of the golden finger (101,103) of the prior art, through modifying the shape of the edge of the PCB (100), the edge of the PCB open reeds of a connector (201, 203) at different time. The PCB (100) has at least one concave edge section or at least one convex edge section or at least one tilt edge section, and the edge can further be beveled. The bonding pads of the golden finger can be assorted, pin ends of a part of golden fingers (101, 103) can be partially removed or these golden fingers can be completely removed, the pin ends of a part of golden fingers (101,103) can be preserved. Through the method, the purpose of reducing the fitting thrust upon inserting the PCB (100) into the connector can be achieved.
