Can anybody tell me what this connector is called and how I could purchase one for my own prototype board?
This is a picture of a Nintendo Wii motherboard (bottom) and the bluetooth adapter (top). I'd like to connect this bluetooth adapter to my own board for a project I'm working on so I need a connector like the one on the motherboard.
Here is another picture of both the board connector and module plug:
Thanks for any help!
I suggest you combine the two methods. Drill a hole near the traces and thread a thin bare wire through the board, lay it along the exposed traces by a few mm and solder it on both sides.
If you don't have such a wire handy, just strip a piece of stranded wire and use one of the strands
Nobody will notice unless they look very carefully, and it will be reliable.
I think it may be a Molex board-to-board connector but I'm confused about its actual name. The best way may be to ask Molex tech support.

It is very similar to the Hirose DF40 surface-mount "riser" connector. But I don't see any 16-pin versions. I wonder if that isn't a 20-pin version with the two end pins missing from each end?
