DEFINITION

Classification: 439/629

For coupling to edge of printed circuit board or to coupling part secured to such edge:

(under subclass 626) Coupling part specially adapted to be electrically connected either directly or indirectly to a printed circuit board* so that the conductors or circuit elements on the printed circuit board may be electrically connected to the contacts of the coupling part, and wherein the coupling part is further either (a) specifically adapted to be engaged and coupled directly to an edge portion of the printed circuit board, the edge portion having counter-contacts thereon electrically connected to the mutually-insulated conductors or circuit elements on the printed circuit board, so that the edge portion constitutes a mating counterpart for the coupling part, or (b) specifically adapted to be engaged and coupled to mating plural-contact-carrying counterpart which, in turn, is mechanically and electrically connected to an edge portion of the printed circuit board.
