more pins each passing through one of said
holes in said first printed circuit board
and each protruding from an opposite side
of said first printed circuit board. . . ;
and
. . . a second printed circuit board
having one or more holes and being mounted
. . . with said one or more pins of said
first electrical component protruding
through at least one of said holes in said

printed
circuit board being vertically in alignment
with said first electrical component and
