Connector assembly having an open volume between the assembly and a circuit board

摘要

A connector assembly includes a body and one or more contacts. The body extends along a longitudinal axis between front and back ends and along a vertical axis between a top surface and bottom surfaces. The body has a mating section, a raised section, and a mounting section. The contact is disposed in the body and is configured to electrically couple with the mating connector and with the circuit board. The raised section is spaced apart from and is suspended above the circuit board when the mounting section is mounted to the circuit board.
