Serial ATA connector with compliant contact

An electrical connector assembly:

• a printed circuit board;
• a Serial Advance Technology Attachment (SATA) connector mounted unto the printed circuit board, and defining an insulative housing with two opposite end walls and two opposite side walls commonly defining a mating space therein with an L-shape tongue extending in said mating space, said L-shaped tongue including a longer section extending along a longitudinal direction of the housing and a shorter section extending along a transverse direction perpendicular to said longitudinal direction, a slot formed in one of said pair of end walls spaced farther from the a shorter section;
• an underside of the housing defining a standoff periphery so as to have an undersurface of the housing spatially lifted from the printed circuit board;
• and
• a pair of pegs integrally downwardly from the undersurface of the housing around two opposite end walls;
• wherein
• a cutout is formed in said standoff periphery around one of said end walls to outwardly expose a root section of the corresponding peg along the longitudinal direction while a root of the other peg is not.

• wherein
• the standoff periphery forms a wider U-shaped portion around one of said pair of end walls for closely protectively surrounding the corresponding one of said pair of pegs while the other peg is relatively farther away from corresponding portions of the standoff periphery.
