Abstract
A circuit assembly comprises a planar substrate 10 supporting, on a surface 11, connectors 14 and modules 12, the connectors having a common bridging member secured to the substrate and permits movement of an electrical insulating block 15 of each connector in a plane normal to the surface 11, to ensure that the manufacturing tolerances in relation to the block are larger than otherwise would be required, and to facilitate alignment of the block in a predetermined position, when the connector is mated with an associated connector 20 (shown in FIG. 2). Possibly, aligning means for example, comprising pin and hole arrangements is provided, a part of which aligning means, for example, comprising holes 40 and 41, is provided within at least the insulating block of the connector of the circuit assembly, to co-operate with a complementary part, of pins (not shown), of the aligning means provided within the associated connector.
