Abstract:
A system and apparatus for increasing connectivity of a circuit board comprising a connector, wherein the connector has a horizontal body and a hollow cylindrical portion extruding vertically from the body; wherein the cylindrical portion is made up of a set of pieces; wherein at least a piece of the set of pieces is arranged to expand horizontally upon insertion of a phalanx head in a vertical manner. A method to increase current connectivity comprising screwing a fastener into threads of a connector through a hollow cylindrical portion of the connector; wherein the hollow cylindrical portion of the connector is made up of a set of pieces; wherein the screwing causes a phalanx head to contact the cylindrical portion expanding at least one piece of the set of pieces in a horizontal manner in relation to the fastener.
