Connector adapter and circuit board assembly including the same

摘要

Connector adapter includes an adapter body having a mating side and a mounting side. The mating side includes signal cavities that open to the mating side. The connector adapter also includes signal conductors extending through the adapter body. Each of the signal conductors has and extends between a pin socket positioned at the mating side and a signal tail positioned at the mounting side. The pin sockets are positioned within corresponding signal cavities. Each of the pin sockets includes first and second arms that oppose each other and define a thru-hole therebetween. The first and second arms engage a signal tail of an electrical connector when the signal tail of the electrical connector is inserted into the thru-hole.

1. A connector adapter comprising:
an adapter body having a mating side and a mounting side, the mounting side configured to be mounted to a circuit board, the mating side configured to have an electrical connector stacked thereon, the mating side including signal cavities that open to the mating side; and signal conductors extending through the adapter body, each of the signal conductors having and extending between a pin socket positioned at the mating side and a signal tail positioned at the mounting side, the pin sockets being positioned within corresponding signal cavities, each of the pin sockets comprising a socket body having a receiving edge and an inner surface that extend continuously around a conductor axis and to define a thru-hole, the receiving edge being closer to the mating side than the inner surface, the inner surface extending from the receiving edge and along the conductor axis, wherein the receiving edge and the inner surface of the socket body are configured to engage and compress opposite edges of a connector tail of the electrical connector as the connector tail of the electrical connector is inserted into the thru-hole in a direction along the conductor axis.
