Printhead assembly having electrical connector assemblies

A printhead assembly comprising:

• a printhead module having a plurality of modular printhead tiles, each tile having a first set of connection strips at one end and a second set of connection strips at a second end;
• a plurality of electrical connector assemblies for connecting the printhead tiles, each electrical connector assembly having a connecting member for bridging the first set of connection strips of one printhead tile with the second set of connection strips of an adjacent printhead tile;
• and
• a plurality of modular supports for each receiving a printhead tile, each modular support defining a first raised portion and a first recessed portion at one end and a second raised portion and a second recessed portion at a second end, the plurality of modular supports configured to abut each other to form a cavity portion defined by the first and second recessed portions of two adjacent modular supports bounded by respectively first and second raised portions, wherein
• each printhead tile is received in a modular support such that the first set of electrical connection strips overlaps the first raised portion of the modular support, and the second set of electrical connection strips overlaps the second raised portion of the modular support, and
• each electrical connector assembly is received in a cavity portion such that the connecting member is in electrical contact with a first set of electrical connection strips overlapping the first raised portion and in electrical contact with a second set of electrical connection strips of the second raised portion.
