DOCKING-STYLE INTERMEDIATE CONNECTOR

摘要

An intermediate connector for engaging a surface mount connector and a cable connector contains conductive terminals (17) in a body portion (16). The body portion is cooperatively defined by distinct and separate terminal contact support portions (14, 15) that are affixed to opposite ends of the connector terminals. The support portions may be affixed to the connector terminals from different directions and thus eliminates the need for a complex molded connector housing. The support portions and the terminals are held together and aligned by a retainer (66) and a spacer (65) is provided to maintain a desired spacing between the terminals of the connector.
