Connector having improved contacts

摘要

An electrical connector for connecting a conductor of a daughter card connector wafer with a blade in the housing of a backplane connector. The daughter card conductor has a body with two elongated beams extending outward from the body. The two elongated beams each have an outer edge and an inner edge, whereby an opening is defined between the inner edges. The backplane conductor has a body with a narrowed tab portion extending outward from said second conductor body. The narrowed tab portion having outer opposite edges and is sized so that the narrowed tab portion fits between at least a portion of the outer edges of the two elongated beams, and in some cases between at least a portion of the inner edges of the two elongated beams.

主权项

1. An electrical connector assembly comprising:
a first connector having a first conductor with a body and two elongated beams extending outward from said first conductor body, said two elongated beams each having an outer edge and a tip; and, a second connector having a second conductor with a body having a top surface, a bottom surface, and a narrowed tab portion extending outward from said second conductor body, said narrowed tab portion having a top surface, a bottom surface and outer opposite side edges, wherein said narrowed tab portion fits between at least a portion of the outer side edges of said two elongated beams, and wherein the tips of said two elongated beams both contact the top surface of the body and/or tab portion.
