Abstract
A connector assembly includes an electrical connector including a plurality of electrical contacts and a backplane connector electrically connectable to the electrical connector. The backplane connector is positioned along an axis with the electrical connector and is movable within a plane arranged at an angle relative to the axis. An interposer member is mechanically connected to and electrically connectable to the plurality of electrical contacts and is positioned along the axis. The interposer member is positioned between the electrical connector and the backplane connector.
Claims41
A connector assembly comprising:
- an electrical connector including a plurality of electrical contacts;
- a backplane connector electrically connectable to said electrical connector and positioned along an axis with said electrical connector, said backplane connector being movable within a plane arranged at an angle relative to said axis, and
- an interposer member mechanically connected to and electrically connectable to said plurality of electrical contacts and positioned along said axis, said interposer member being positioned between said electrical connector and said backplane connector.

An interconnection system comprising:
- at least one connector assembly further comprising:
- an electrical terminal assembly for receiving a first substrate;
- and
- a backplane connector electrically connected to said electrical terminal assembly along an axis, said backplane connector being movable within a plane arranged at an angle relative to said axis;
- and
- a second substrate, said at least one connector assembly being affixed and electrically connected to said second substrate.
A connector assembly comprising:
- an interposer member having a plurality of first attachment regions and a plurality of second attachment regions;
- and
- a backplane connector electrically connectable to said plurality of second attachment regions, said backplane connector being positioned along an axis relative to said interposer member and being movable relative to said interposer member about an area of movement;
- wherein said second attachment regions are larger than said area of movement.
