Abstract
An electrical connector assembly (100) includes a first connector (200), a second connector (500) and an insulative base housing (1). The first connector includes a first housing (30) and a number of first terminals (20) fitted in and outwardly projecting from one end of the housing. The second connector has a second insulative housing (31) and a number of second terminals (21) fitted in and extending beyond one end of the second housing. The base housing includes a first holding portion for supporting the first connector and a second holding portion for supporting the second connector. The base housing defines an accessible mating interface (10) having a number of passages (122) are arranged in a first row and a second row to respectively dispose the first terminals and the second terminals.
Claims20
An electrical connector assembly, comprising:
- a first connector having a first insulative housing with a depression on a lower surface, a plurality of first terminals fitted in and outwardly projecting from one end of the housing;
- a second connector having a second insulative housing with a depression on an upper surface thereof facing to the depression of the first connector, a plurality of second terminals fitted in and extending beyond one end of the second housing;
- two sheet-like cables, respectively, with front portions together fitted in corresponding depressions of the first and the second connectors to electrically connect with the first and second terminals respectively;
- and
- an insulative base housing comprising a first holding portion for supporting the first connector and a second holding portion for supporting the second connector, the base housing defining an accessible mating interface having a plurality of passages arranged in a first row and a second row to respectively dispose the first terminals and the second terminals therein.
(canceled)
An electrical connector assembly, comprising:
- an insulative base housing comprising a holding portion, the base housing defining an accessible mating interface having a plurality of passages arranged in a row;
- a connector module having an insulative housing defining a plurality of partitions forming a plurality of holes each located between every adjacent two partitions, a plurality of terminals respectively fitted in the corresponding through holes and outwardly projecting from one end of the housing and into the corresponding passages which is aligned with the corresponding through holes in front-to-back direction, respectively;
- and
- a flat flexible cable including a plurality of wires respectively electrically and mechanically connected to the corresponding terminals;
- wherein
- said flat flexible cable and said connector module are horizontally assembled to the base.
An electrical connector assembly comprising:
- an insulative housing defining two rows of passageways,
- two rows of terminals disposed in the corresponding passageways, said terminals defining mounting portions, respectively, in a rear side of the housing;
- the mounting portions of the terminals in one row being spatially opposite to those in the other row;
- two sheet-like cables each including a plurality of wires defining front portions respectively connected to the corresponding mounting portions;
- and
- other portions of said two cables being essentially closely attached to each other as a unitary piece.
