An electrical connector assembly (2) for use in connecting parallel printed circuit boards includes a receptacle connector (4) and a plug connector (6). The receptacle connector (4) includes receptacle contacts (8), each of which includes a surface mount solder tail (16) and a mating contact section in the form of a resilient arm (26) on opposite sides of a sealing pad (18) that seals a contact insertion opening (38) when the receptacle contact (8) is fully inserted. The mating contact portion is therefore isolated from contaminating materials, such as solder flux during surface mount solder operations. The height of the connector assembly (2) can be adjusted by using plug connectors (6) of different heights with a universal receptacle connector (4). The height of the side walls (60) on the plug housing (12), between a plug mating section and contact retention section is changed for different plug connector heights. The length of the plug contact (10) can also change because the plug contact solder tail (56) is bent into its final position after the plug contacts (10) are mounted on the plug housing (12). |
