Abstract
An electrical connector assembly is provided for interfacing between a component frame and a printed circuit board. The assembly includes a board connector for mounting on a surface of the printed circuit board and a frame connector mounted on the component frame. The connectors are mated in a mating direction generally perpendicular to the printed circuit board. Complementary interengaging tongues and grooves are provided between the frame connector and the frame and extend generally perpendicular to the mating direction for interengaging the frame connector with the frame. The tongues and grooves are of different sizes to polarize the frame connector relative to the frame. Latches are provided between the frame connector and the frame for holding the connector interengaged with the frame.
