DUAL HOUSING BOARD-TO-BOARD CONNECTOR

摘要

A surface mount, board-to-board connector includes two interengaging plug connector and receptacle connector halves (18, 16). Each of the plug and receptacle connector halves include respective dual plug and receptacle housings (60, 20) spaced apart from each other in a substantially parallel relationship. The dual connector housings of the plug and receptacle connector halves are evenly spaced apart by bridging pieces (50, 80) which extend between the connector housings to connect them together. The bridging pieces may be integrally formed with the connector housings or they may be separately formed from the connector housings and include engagement members which engage the connector housings.
