Embodiment Construction

[0013] figure 1 is a perspective view of an exemplary embodiment of an electrical connector system 100 showing a receptacle assembly 102 and a header assembly 104 that may be mated directly together. Receptacle assembly 102 and / or plug assembly 104 may be referred to hereinafter individually as a "connector assembly" or collectively as a "connector assembly". The socket and header assemblies 102 , 104 are each electrically connected to a corresponding circuit board 106 , 108 . Socket and header assemblies 102, 104 are used to electrically interconnect circuit boards 106, 108 at separable mating interfaces. In one exemplary embodiment, the circuit boards 106, 108 are oriented perpendicular to each other when the receptacle and header assemblies 102, 104 are mated. In alternate embodiments, alternate orientations of the circuit boards 106, 108 are possible.

[0014] The mating axis 110 extends through the receptacle and plug assemblies 102 , 104 . The receptacle and plug ass...

Abstract

A receptacle assembly 102 includes a front housing 120 having a mating end and a loading end. The front housing has pockets at the loading end separated by separating walls having slots 174 therethrough open 176 at rears thereof. The front housing receives contact modules 122 in corresponding pockets each having a holder 24 holding a plurality of contacts 124 between first and second side walls 222,223. The holders have embossments 260 extending from the first side walls 222 proximate to the fronts 226 of the holders. The embossments are loaded into corresponding slots through the rears 176 of the separating walls 172 to control positions of the contact modules with respect to the front housing.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electrical connector assembly having a contact module. Background technique [0002] Some electrical systems use electrical connectors to interconnect two circuit boards, such as a motherboard and a daughter card. Signal loss and / or signal attenuation is a problem in known electrical systems. For example, electromagnetic coupling of fields surrounding an active conductor or differential conductor pair and adjacent conductors or differential conductor pairs can produce crosstalk. The strength of the coupling generally depends on the separation distance between the conductors, so crosstalk can be significant when electrical connectors are in close proximity to each other. Moreover, known electrical connectors have proven insufficient as the need for speed and performance has increased. Additionally, it is desirable to increase the density of electrical connectors to increase the throughput of electrical systems without sign...
