MEZZANINE HEADER CONNECTOR

摘要

A mezzanine header connector (102) comprises a contact assembly (210) comprising a pair of contact modules (240) arranged back-to-back. Each of the contact modules includes a dielectric holder (242) holding a plurality of header contacts (212). The dielectric holder extends between a mating end (244) and a mounting end (246) opposite the mating end. The dielectric holder has an inner side (248) and an outer side (250). The header contacts have mating segments (272) exposed along the outer side at the mating end, and terminating segments (274) extending from the mounting end of the dielectric holder. Each of the header contacts extends along a linear path between the corresponding mating segment and the corresponding terminating segment. The inner sides of the dielectric holders of the pair of contact modules abut against each other such that the header contacts face away from each other.
