Connector assembly

摘要

A connector assembly includes a receptacle mounted on a first connector mounting surface of a first substrate; a receptacle mounted on a second connector mounting surface of a second substrate; and a relay connector. The relay connector includes a plug to be mated with the receptacle in a direction parallel to the first connector mounting surface; a plug to be mated with the receptacle in a direction parallel to the second connector mounting surface; and a handle that couples the plug and the plug to each other. The relay connector is structured such that a first mating direction in which the plug is mated to the receptacle is substantially the same as a second mating direction (Q) in which the plug is mated to the receptacle.

1. A connector assembly that connects a first substrate having a first connector mounting surface and a second substrate having a second connector mounting surface to each other in such a manner that the first connector mounting surface and the second connector mounting surface are substantially parallel to each other, the connector assembly comprising:
a first connector mounted on the first connector mounting surface of the first substrate; a second connector mounted on the second connector mounting surface of the second substrate; and a third connector comprising: a first connector portion to be mated with the first connector in a direction parallel to the first connector mounting surface; a second connector portion to be mated with the second connector in a direction parallel to the second connector mounting surface; and a coupling portion that couples the first connector portion and the second connector portion to each other, the third connector being structured in such a manner that a first mating direction in which the first connector portion is mated to the first connector is substantially the same as a second mating direction in which the second connector portion is mated to the second connector; the third connector is a relay connector.
