Connector assembly having a compressive coupling member

摘要

A connector assembly (100) comprises a housing having a mating interface and a mounting interface on respective opposite sides of the housing. The mounting interface is configured to engage a first substrate (104) when the housing is mounted to the first substrate (104), the mating interface is configured to mate with a mating connector (108) mounted to a second substrate (106), and the housing is configured to mate with the mating connector to interconnect the substrates in a parallel arrangement. A contact extends between and protrudes from the mating and mounting interfaces of the housing and is configured to provide an electrical connection between the substrates (104, 106). A coupling member (122) is configured to extend through the substrates and the housing in a direction transverse to at least one of the mating and mounting interfaces. The coupling member (122) is configured to apply a compressive force (124) to the housing to secure the housing with the mating connector (108) to electrically and mechanically interconnect the substrates (104, 106).
