ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY AND MODULE INCORPORATING THE SAME

摘要

A right-angled electrical connector assembly is provided for connection to a printed circuit board. The assembly includes a terminal support member for supporting the assembly on an appropriate support structure such as a chassis of a right-angled electrical connector module. A plurality of right-angled conductive terminals have compliant pin portions and generally perpendicular contact portions. The pin portions have retention portions. A terminal pin alignment member is supported on the support member and includes a plurality of pin-receiving passages for receiving the pin portions of the terminals therethrough in a direction generally perpendicular to the support member for connection to the printed circuit board. The passages have retention sections for engaging the retention portions of the terminals. A contact alignment member has a plurality of contact-receiving passages for receiving the contact portions of the terminals therethrough to define a mating portion of the assembly.
