1. A bussing system for interconnecting a plurality of adjacent parallel spaced circuit boards together in pairs, said system comprising:

  • a bussing connector mounted to receive a circuit board on opposite sides thereof, said bussing connector having an elongated member of rigid insulative material forming a plurality of parallel fins extending from opposite faces of said elongated member and defining terminal receiving cavities therebetween, a terminal mounted in each said cavity with a blade engaging tine between each fin;

    first and second profiled blade terminal headers formed of rigid non-conductive material, each header having an elongated profile with oppositely directed mounting and mating faces, a plurality of terminal passages extending through each header between said faces; and

    a like plurality of terminals each having a body portion with a blade extending therefrom in a first direction and a compliant pin portion extending therefrom in an opposite direction, each said terminal being mounted in a respective passage with said blade portion extending from said mating face and said compliant pin portion extending from said mounting face, said headers being mounted aligned on opposite sides of said circuit board with the compliant pin portions of the terminals being received in respective conductive apertures of said circuit board, said blade portions of the headers on opposite sides of a circuit board being in alignment, whereby circuit boards positioned adjacent opposite sides of said bussing header are interconnected by a blade portion of a first header on a first circuit board and a blade portion of a second header on a second circuit board.
