Electrical connector system.

摘要

An electrical connector system (300) for mounting a substrate comprises a plurality of wafer assemblies (302) defining a mating end and a mounting end. Each of the wafer assemblies (302) comprises a first housing (308) defining a plurality of first electrical contact channels (328), a first array of electrical contacts (310) positioned within the plurality of first electrical contact channels (328), a second housing (314) configured to mate with the first housing (308) and defining a plurality of second electrical contact channels, a second array of electrical contacts (312) positioned within the plurality of second electrical contact channels, and a ground frame positioned at a side of the second housing (308). Each electrical contact of the first array of electrical contacts (310) defines an electrical mating connector extending past an edge of the first housing (308) at the mating end of the wafer assembly (306), and each electrical contact of the second array of electrical contacts (312) defines an electrical mating connector extending past an edge of the second housing (314) at the mating end of the wafer assembly (306). The ground frame defines a plurality of ground mating tabs (320) extending past the edge of the second housing (314) at the mating end of the wafer assembly (306). A wafer housing (304) positions the plurality of wafer assemblies (302) adjacent to one another in the electrical connector system (300).
