HIGH SPEED, CARD EDGE CONNECTOR

摘要

A connector assembly ( 100 ) includes an insulative housing ( 10 ) defining a central slot ( 14 ) with two rows of passageways ( 16 ) by two sides thereof and two rows of contacts ( 20 ) disposed in the corresponding passageways, respectively. An electronic card ( 9 ) is received in the central slot and has a number of circuit pads ( 91 ) on a bottom portion thereof to engage the corresponding contacts, respective. Each of the contacts defines a contact section ( 22 ) extending into the central slot, and such contact section is of a downward bellows type with an overlapped region. The inner arm of the overlapped region provides a contact apex contacting the corresponding circuit pad. A height of the overlapped region is similar to a lengthwise dimension of the corresponding circuit pad.
