MATING CONTACT CONNECTOR HOUSING ASSEMBLY

摘要

A mating contact connector housing assembly having a plurality of contacts housed therein, the contacts including contact blade portions and terminal portions and being mounted within the housing in a cantilever manner such that they are restrained from moving within longitudinally extending planes yet are permitted to undergo flexural movement within laterally extending planes, whereby the contact members accomodate and compensate for contact misalignment with mating contact members. The housing is also provided with additional aligning pins to properly align the housing relative to a mating housing and is further provided with a dependent skirt which serves to additionally promote the alignment between the mating housing as well as protect the contact members against structural damage.
