An electrical connector system is provided for coupling a fixed backplane to a removable daughtercard. The connector system includes a socket connector having a housing formed to include an array of pin-receiving windows therein, and a plurality of receptacle contacts located within the housing in alignment with the pin-receiving windows. The receptacle contacts include tail sections electrically coupled to the backplane. The socket connector also includes a plurality of cantilevered guide posts extending away from the housing. The connector system further includes a header connector having a housing and an array of contact pins secured in the housing for engaging the receptacle contacts of the socket connector. The contact pins include tail sections electrically coupled to the daughtercard. The housing of the header connector is formed to include a plurality of guide slots aligned axially with the cantilevered guide posts formed on the socket connector. The guide slots are configured so that the guide posts enter the guide slots as the socket connector and the header connector are mated to align the array of pin-receiving windows of the socket connector with the array of pins of the header connector. <IMAGE> |
