Abstract
A connector assembly comprises a male connector defining at least two cavities within a first outer peripheral wall and a partition arranged therebetween. Each cavity has a header contact assembled therein. A female connector forms at least two sleeve members corresponding to the cavities. Each sleeve member receives a receptacle contact therein. The sleeve member mechanically engages with the corresponding cavity when the male and female connectors are mated. A second peripheral wall surrounds the sleeve members extending from the female connector. The second peripheral wall and the outer sleeve members define a gap therebetween for receiving the first peripheral wall therein.
Claims1
A connector assembly comprising:
- a male connector defining at least two cavities within a first outer peripheral wall and a partition arranged therebetween, each cavity having a header contact assembled therein;
- a female connector forming at least two sleeve members corresponding to said cavities, each sleeve member receiving a receptacle contact therein, said sleeve member mechanically engaging with said corresponding cavity when said male and female connectors are mated;
- and
- a second peripheral wall surrounding said sleeve members extending from said female connector, said second peripheral wall and said sleeve members defining a gap therebetween for receiving said first outer peripheral wall of said male connector therein;
- wherein a thickness of said first peripheral wall is larger than a thickness of said partition between said cavities;
- wherein said second peripheral wall is an EMI shroud;
- wherein said second peripheral wall is integrally formed with said sleeve members.
