Abstract
This invention relates to the field of high density connectors for connecting circuit board edges to other connectors. A modular design is provided which has modules that fit into a frame to form the connector. Each module consists of a housing having a base and a cover which receives the circuit card edge. The cover is designed to insulate between adjacent contacts and to maintain contact tail spacing. This cover also eliminates the need for additional potting material between contact tails and reduces the overall height of the connector.
