An electrical connector comprises an interface element attachable to a circuit board and a plurality of peripheral connectors. The interface element has an inner contact electrically contacting the circuit board and a connecting interface. The peripheral connectors are each individually matable with the connecting interface. The peripheral connectors include a peripheral plug connector having a plurality of plug connector pins and a peripheral lead connector having a plurality of wires.

Electrical connector, electronic component, and assembly method

A connector module includes a housing and a conductive lead frame. The housing includes a cover and a base that define a cavity therebetween. The cavity receives a circuit card therein. The base has a top side and a bottom side. The top side faces the cover and defines part of the cavity. Multiple windows extend through the base between the top and bottom sides. The base includes a conductive layer at least partially covered by a non-conductive layer. The conductive lead frame is coupled to the bottom side of the base. The lead frame includes multiple contact beams that extend into the cavity through the windows of the base. The lead frame is electrically isolated from the conductive layer of the base by the non-conductive layer of the base. The lead frame further includes mounting contacts configured to be mounted to conductive components of a circuit board.
