Filed:

Appl. No.:

16/034835

Inventors:

- Wallingford CN, US
Robert AUGER - Amherst NH, US
Mark W. GAILUS - Concord MA, US

International Classification:

H05K 5/02
H05K 13/00

H05K 1/02

Abstract:

An adapter has two conductors each with a U-shaped bend forming upper longer legs and lower shorter legs. The conductors face each other with the longer legs linearly aligned with each other and the shorter legs aligned with each other, thereby forming a first gap between the longer legs and a second gap between the shorter legs. The first gap is substantially smaller than the second gap, so that an electrical package can be placed across the first gap to contact the two upper longer legs, while the two shorter legs are spaced further apart to span a larger gap between conductors of a connector. Thus, the adapter enables the electrical package to be connected to conductors having a gap that is larger than the electrical package.
