Abstract
A receptacle assembly for an electrical connector is provided. The assembly includes a housing, a plurality of electrical contacts and a shield. The housing includes a mating end and a mounting end that are orthogonal to each other. The mating end of the housing is elongated along a longitudinal axis of the housing. The electrical contacts are held by the housing and extend between a mating end presented at the mating end of the housing and a mounting end configured to be mounted to a circuit board. The shield has a mating interface elongated along a longitudinal axis. The shield is configured to receive the electrical connector. The housing and the contacts are located within the shield. The longitudinal axes of the housing and the mating interface are orthogonal to the circuit board.
