Abstract
A device for use with a printed circuit board, PCB, is provided. The device is arranged to electrically connect to a component on the PCB. The device comprises a first layer having a first hole therethrough and a second layer having a second hole therethrough. The second hole is arranged to receive a connector to connect the device to the PCB. Each of the first and second holes has a width in the plane of the respective first or second layer. The first and second holes are substantially coaxial. The width of the first hole is greater than the width of the second hole. Thus proper electrical clearance is provided between the component on the PCB an the device when the connector is not present.
