AI Technical Summary
Existing electrical connectors for printed circuit boards are inefficient, costly, and difficult to use, particularly for temporary connections, due to their small size, fragility, and the need for soldering, which occupies valuable space and complicates component replacement and modification.
A connector system that utilizes the side-edge surface of a device, such as a printed circuit board, for connectivity, allowing temporary connections without dedicating space on the planar surfaces, using wireless transceivers or adapters for electrical connection, and alignment features for stability.
Enables efficient, cost-effective, and space-saving connectivity for debugging, programming, and testing of circuitry, firmware, and software, without the need for soldering, and allows connection to stacked or constrained devices.
