ELECTRICAL CONNECTION DEVICE

摘要

An electrical connection device is used to be provided in an electronic device casing, and comprises a first circuit board and a second circuit board which are substantially coplanar, a receptacle connector provided to the first circuit board and a plug connector provided to the second circuit board. The receptacle connector comprises a housing and a plurality of first terminals. The housing has a first mating surface, and a pair of sliding contact grooves respectively adjacent to both sides of the first mating surface. The plug connector comprises a body and a plurality of second terminals. The body has a pair of side flanges respectively engaged with and received in the sliding contact grooves. The plug connector is mated with the receptacle connector in a direction perpendicular to a board surface of the first circuit board.
