Embodiment Construction

[0015] figure 1 is a partially exploded perspective view of an exemplary embodiment of the receptacle connector assembly 10 and an exemplary circuit board 42 . The receptacle connector assembly 10 includes a housing 12 having an insulating body 14 extending along a central longitudinal plane 16 between opposing end portions 18 and 20 . The body 14 has a mating face 22 and a mounting face 24 . The body 14 includes a slot 26 configured to receive an electronics module 30 ( figure 2 , 5 and 7) with the edge portion 28 ( figure 2 , 5 and 7). The housing body 14 includes a plurality of openings 32 each communicating with the slot 26 and extending through the housing body 14 from the mating face 22 to the mounting face 24 . Here, each opening 32 holds a portion of a corresponding inner electrical contact 34 or outer electrical contact 36 , respectively, as described below. Each inner electrical contact 34 and outer electrical contact 36 includes a respective mating contact p...

Abstract

An electrical connector assembly includes a housing having a slot configured to receive at least a portion of an electronic module therein. The housing includes an anti-stubbing shoulder. An electrical contact is held by the housing. The electrical contact includes a mating contact portion and an anti-stubbing contact portion. At least a portion of the mating contact portion extends within the slot for engagement with the electronic module. Engagement between the anti-stubbing portion of the electrical contact and the anti-stubbing shoulder of the housing moves at least a portion of the mating contact portion of the electrical contact generally away from the slot of the housing.

Description

technical field [0001] The subject matter described and / or illustrated herein relates generally to electrical connectors, and more particularly, to electrical connectors for electronic modules. Background technique [0002] Computers and servers use many types of electronic modules such as processors and memory modules such as Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM), Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM), Extended Data Output Random Access Memory (EDO RAM) Wait). Memory modules are manufactured in a number of different formats such as Single Inline Memory Modules (SIMM's), New Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM's), Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Modules (SODIMM's), and Fully Buffered DIMM's . [0003] Typically, the electronic modules are mounted in sockets that fit over the circuit board. Each electronics module has a mating edge portion that generally provides an interface between opposing rows of contacts held by the receptacle housing. The socket housing somet...
