Abstract:
This specification discloses a terminal for coupling to the edge of a printed circuit board with two cooperating springs to permit a reduced terminal size with increased contact pressure. The springs are restrained in a partly deflected position so they are preloaded and can provide an increased contact pressure with respect to an undeflected spring. One of the springs transmits a resisting force supplied in part by the other spring and by a forward foot which engages a portion of the terminal.

Abstract:
This specification discloses a connector for coupling to the edge of a printed circuit board. The connector contains terminals which are staggered in the direction of insertion of the printed circuit board into the connector. Such staggering reduces the peak magnitude of the insertion force. A securing spacer in the connector prevents undesired motion by the terminal and prevents partial insertion of the terminal into the connector.
Lawyer Jeffrey Ayotte suggested possible alternative explanations to Cpl. David Connors, an RCMP computer forensic expert who had extracted records from the laptop of Frank Hall, the key witness against Del Mastro.
