Abstract

See full text

A connector assembly for connecting the circuit paths on a printed circuit board to another printed circuit board. A casing has a flexible electrical connector positioned under it and coupled to a plurality of electrodes. The flexible electrical connector has conductive traces thereon. The flexible electrical connector extends around the casing, enters the top of the casing and terminates on electrodes in an intermediate circuit board. Individual shuttle flex strips are coupled to the intermediate circuit board and have traces thereon that are coupled to electrodes of the intermediate circuit board. The shuttle flex strips are coupled to a plurality of shuttles that can be moved forward to engage conductive pins in a receiver housing positioned on a second circuit board. In this way, the signal paths from one circuit board are coupled to another circuit board.
