Structural modular building connector

An upper connector for a connector assembly, the upper connector comprising:

• an upper connector body having an upper connector body column receiving end and an upper connector body gusset contact end, the upper connector body column receiving end being configured to receive a first end of a second module frame and the upper connector body gusset contact end being configured to couple to a gusset plate;
• an upper connector arm, the upper connector arm coupled to and extending from the upper connector body and having an upper connector arm inner face, an upper connector arm outer face, an upper connector arm gusset contact face, an upper connector arm load bearing face, and an upper connector arm beam contact face, the upper connector arm beam contact face being positioned distal from the upper connector body, and the upper connector arm having at least one upper connector arm fixing aperture being configured to receive a first fastening means that couples a lower connector to the upper connector and at least one upper connector arm gusset coupling aperture being configured to receive a second fastening means that couples the upper connector to the gusset plate;
• and
• an upper connector arm boss coupled to and extending from the upper connector arm beam contact face of the upper connector arm, and the upper connector arm boss being configured to couple the upper connector arm to a beam.

A lower connector for a connector assembly, the lower connector comprising:

• a lower connector body having a lower connector body column receiving end and a lower connector body gusset contact end, the lower connector body column receiving end being configured to receive a first end of a first module frame and the lower connector body gusset contact end being configured to couple to a gusset plate;
• at least a pair of lower connector arms, each lower connector arm coupled to and extending from the lower connector body and having a lower connector arm inner face, a lower connector arm outer face, a lower connector arm gusset contact face, a lower connector arm load bearing face, and a lower connector arm beam contact face, the lower connector arm beam contact face being positioned distal from the lower connector body , and each lower connector arm having at least one fixing aperture on the lower connector arm load bearing face configured to receive a fastening means that couples the lower connector to an upper connector;
• and
• a lower connector arm boss coupled to and extending from the lower connector arm beam contact face of each arm, the boss having a lower connector arm weld receiving bevel extending from a distal end of the arm and a lower connector arm weld backer extending from the lower connector arm weld receiving bevel.

An upper connector for a connector assembly, the upper connector comprising:

• an upper connector body having an upper connector body column receiving end and an upper connector body gusset contact end, the upper connector body column receiving end being configured to receive a first end of a second module frame and the gusset contact end being configured to couple to a gusset plate;
• at least a pair of upper connector arms, each upper connector arm coupled to and extending from the upper connector body and having an upper connector arm inner face, an upper connector arm outer face, an upper connector arm gusset contact face, an upper connector arm load bearing face, and an upper connector arm beam contact face, the upper connector arm beam contact face being positioned distal from the upper connector body, and each upper connector arm having at least one upper connector arm fixing aperture configured to receive a first fastening means that couples a lower connector to the upper connector and at least one upper connector arm gusset coupling aperture configured to receive a second fastening means that couples the upper connector to the gusset plate;
• and
• an upper connector arm boss coupled to and extending from the upper connector arm beam contact face of each upper connector arm, the boss having an upper connector arm weld receiving bevel extending from the distal end of the upper connector arm and an upper connector arm weld backer extending from the upper connector arm weld receiving bevel.
