Abstract
A printed circuit board electrical power contact for connecting a daughter printed circuit board to a mating contact on another electrical component. The power contact includes a main section; at least one daughter board electrical contact section extending from the main section; and at least one mating connector contact section extending from the main section. The mating connector contact section includes at least three forward projecting beams. A first one of the beams extends outward in a first direction as the first beam extends forward from the main section and has a contact surface facing the first direction. Two second ones of the beams are located on opposite sides of the first beam and extend outward in a second opposite direction as the second beams extend forward from the main section. The second beams have contact surfaces facing the second direction.

22. A printed circuit board electrical power contact for connecting a daughter printed circuit board to a mating contact on another electrical component, the power contact comprising:
-
a main section having a substantially flat shape;
at least one daughter board electrical contact section extending from the main section; and
at least one mating connector contact section extending from the main section, the mating connector contact section comprising at least two forward projecting beams, wherein a first one of the beams extends outward in a first direction as the first beam extends forward from the main section and has a contact surface facing the first direction, and wherein a second one of the beams extends outward in a second opposite direction as the second beam extends forward from the main section and has a contact surface facing the second direction, wherein the first beam is larger than the second beam.

23. A system for connecting a daughter printed circuit board to a mother printed circuit board, the system comprising:
-
a first power connector adapted to be mounted to the mother printed circuit board, the first power connector having a first housing and first power contacts;
a second power connector adapted to be mounted to the daughter printed circuit board, the second power connector having a plurality of second power contacts, each second power contact having a main section with outwardly bent contact beams having outward facing contact areas, the outwardly bent contact beams comprising a first contact beam which is larger than a second contact beam, wherein the first and second contact beams extend in generally opposite directions from a front end of the main section, and wherein the second power contacts are adapted to be inserted into the first housing;
a first signal connector adapted to be mounted to the mother printed circuit board, the first signal connector comprising male signal contacts; and
a second signal connector adapted to be mounted to the daughter printed circuit board, the second signal connector comprising female signal contacts adapted to receive the male signal contacts therein.
