CIRCUIT CARD CONNECTOR WITH ISOLATION BASE ASSEMBLY

摘要

A circuit card connector (100) that utilizes flexible circuitry (60) includes one or more isolator portions (130) attached to its base that serve to substantially isolate the base (104) of the connector from the circuit board (22) to which the connector is mounted. The isolator portions (130) include feet (132) that extend out from the connector and which partially support the flexible circuitry (60). These isolator portions (130) are made from thermally insulative material and serve to prevent heat transfer to the connector base from occurring during soldering of the flexible circuitry conductive portions to the circuit board.
