Abstract
An electrical connector assembly is disclosed that includes a receptacle connector and plug connector. The receptacle connector includes a receptacle housing having a top surface and a bottom surface, a support plate, spacers configured to retain the support plate adjacent to the top surface, and a post retained against the support plate by a spring and a fastener configured to releasable assemble the post and the support plate. The receptacle connector is less complex, lighter, and less expensive than receptacle connectors entirely made of a unitary composite, metal, or metallized composite.
