Daughter card assembly having a power contact |
| 摘要 |
A daughter card assembly including a daughter card having a leading edge. The daughter card includes signal contacts that are disposed along the leading edge, wherein the leading edge is configured to be inserted into a card cavity of a receptacle connector during a mating operation. The daughter card assembly also includes a power module that is coupled to the daughter card. The power module includes a module housing having a module cavity and a cavity opening that provides access to the module cavity. The power module also includes a power contact that is disposed within the module cavity and projects through the cavity opening. The power contact is configured to engage a corresponding electrical contact of the receptacle connector during the mating operation. The power contact is deflected by the electrical contact into the module cavity as the power contact and the electrical contact engage each other. |

1. A daughter card assembly comprising:
a daughter card having a leading edge extending along a longitudinal axis, the daughter card including signal contacts that are disposed along the leading edge, wherein the leading edge is configured to be inserted into a card cavity of a receptacle connector during a mating operation when the leading edge is moved in an insertion direction that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis; and a power module coupled to the daughter card proximate to the leading edge, the power module including a module housing having a module cavity and a cavity opening that provides access to the module cavity, the power module also including a power contact that is disposed within the module cavity and projects through the cavity opening, wherein the power contact is configured to engage a corresponding electrical contact of the receptacle connector during the mating operation, the power contact being deflected by the electrical contact into the module cavity as the power contact and the electrical contact engage each other. |
