Abstract
A card edge connector includes a connector housing having a cavity and holding a contact assembly in the cavity. The contact assembly has a contact positioner holding contacts in a contact array. Each contact includes a mating end, a terminating end, and an intermediate portion between the mating end and the terminating end. The card edge connector includes a connector sleeve coupled to the connector housing movable between a retracted position and an advanced position. The connector sleeve includes an insert received in the cavity having a card slot configured to receive a module circuit board of a pluggable module. The insert includes press anvils configured to engage the intermediate portions of the contacts to move the mating ends of the contacts toward the module circuit board to mate with corresponding contact pads on the module circuit board when moved to the advanced position.
