Abstract
An electrical connector assembly 1 for mounting on a printed circuit board, has terminals 17 for interconnecting with traces on the printed circuit board. The assembly 1 comprises a housing 4 with a mounting face 8 and a mating face 7 perpendicular to the mounting face 8. The housing has contact receiving passages 9, which extend rearward from the mating face 7 to the mounting face 8. Further included is a plurality of receptacle contacts 6 each adapted to be received within respective contact passages 9. Each receptacle contact 6 comprises an electrically conductive shell 12 which is adapted to be received within a respective contact passage 9. The receptacle contact 6 further includes a dielectric insert 11 having center bore 20 and adapted to be received and secured within each of the respective conductive shells 3. Each receptacle contact 6 further includes signal carrying center contact 10 pressed into the bore 20 of the dielectric insert 11. The signal carrying contact 10 comprises a finger-shaped mating section 13 and a compliant clip section 14 with arc shaped solder terminal 17 for interconnection with respective trace on the printed circuit board.
