MEZZANINE CONNECTOR WITH TERMINAL BRICK

摘要

A connector is provided that includes a first housing that supports first terminal bricks. The first housing can mate with a second housing that supports second terminal bricks that are configured to mate with the first terminal bricks. The first housing and first terminal bricks can be adjusted so that a variety of spacing requirements can be meet by the combination of the first and second housings while allowing for reduced tooling investment.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
providing a first connector that is configured to be mounted on a first circuit board, the first connector including a plurality of first terminal bricks, each first terminal brick having a first pair of terminals and a first ground terminal, the first pair of terminals arranged in an edge-coupled manner and the first ground terminal having a U-shaped body that extends along a portion of the first pair of terminals, wherein contacts of the first pair of terminals and the first ground terminal are angled toward each other; providing a second connector that is configured to be mounted on a second circuit board that is intended to be parallel to the first circuit board, the second connector including a plurality of second terminal bricks, each second terminal brick having a second pair of terminals and a second ground terminal, the second pair of terminals arranged in an edge-coupled manner and the second ground terminal having a U-shaped body that extends along a portion of the first pair of terminals, wherein each of the second pairs of terminals has a two contacts and the second ground terminal has one contact and the two contacts of the second pair of terminals are spaced apart and facing the one contact of the ground terminal and the contacts of the second pair of terminals and the second ground terminal are configured to pressed apart when the contacts of the second connector engage the contacts of the first connector; and mating the first connector to the second connector.
