Abstract
An electrical device assembly includes a first connector assembly coupled with a second connector assembly via a sliding arrangement. The first connector assembly includes a first terminal module and a first coupling device. The first terminal module includes a first mating face and the first contacts exposed thereon. The first coupling device includes the sliding rail forming a sliding slot with an insertion opening including a sliding opening so as to expose the sliding slot to an exterior.
Claims15
An electrical device assembly comprising:
- a first electrical connector assembly adapted to be mated with a second electrical connector assembly along a front-to-back direction,
- said first electrical connector assembly including:
- a first terminal module secured to a first coupling device, the first coupling device including a sliding rail forming a sliding slot along said front-to-back direction, an insertion opening at one end of the sliding slot in the front-to-back direction, and a sliding opening extending along the front-to-back direction to reach the sliding opening and to communicate the sliding slot with an exterior in a vertical direction perpendicular to said front-to-back direction;
- wherein
- the second electrical connector assembly is adapted to be inserted into the sliding slot in a first direction along said front-to-back direction.
