Interface connector

摘要

A connector interface is provided with a body portion (65) extending between two mating ends (63, 64) and is suitable for providing an interface between a cable and an electronic device. The connector includes a printed circuit board (70) as its terminal and the circuit board extends through the body portion (65) and has first and second mating edges (71, 72) that extend past the body portion of the housing at the mating ends. These mating edges permit the use of edge card technology to simplify the connector assembly and cost. One of the mating edges is enclosed by an extension portion (110) of the connector housing such that the extension defines a receptacle (119) that accommodates an opposing connector, such as a plug end of a cable assembly.
