Abstract
A spacer and electrical connector assembly for printed circuit boards includes a first member to be placed between two of the printed circuit boards to provide a required spacing between the printed circuit boards. The assembly also includes at least one second member disposed adjacent to the first member, the second member extending along a length of the first member and at least partially bracketing an upper surface and a lower surface of the first member, thereby providing an electrical connection between the printed circuit boards. A plurality of contact portions that respectively receive the second member may be disposed on at least one of the upper and lower surfaces.
