ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ALLOWING DISASSEMBLY, ELECTRONIC MODULE, AND ASSEMBLY METHOD

摘要

The present invention relates to an electrical connector for being connected to a mating connector, to an electronic module comprising such an electrical connector, and to an assembly method for fabricating the electronic module. An electrical connector (100) according to the present invention comprises a casing (105) and at least one connector module (104) comprising an electrically insulating contact carrier (132) and at least one electrically conductive contact element (146), said connector module (104) being at least partly encompassed by said casing (105). Said casing (105) comprises a retaining member (126) for retaining the connector module (104) at the casing (105), wherein said retaining member (126) interacts with the connector module (104) to exert retaining forces in a direction along a mating direction (107) of the electrical connector, and wherein said connector module (104) is removable from the retaining member (126) in a direction across said mating direction (107).
