REINFORCED BACKPLATE FOR USE WITH ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY HAVING INSULATIVE COATING THEREON

摘要

A connector assembly includes a PCB, an insulative housing mounted on the PCB with a plurality of contacts received therein, a retention module mounted on the PCB and surrounding the insulative housing, and a backplate mounted below the PCB for reinforcing the retention module. The backplate includes a base plate having an upper surface toward a backside surface of the PCB and an insulative coating deposited on the upper surface to prevent the backplate from short-circuiting electrical components of mounted on the backside surface of the PCB.
