Abstract: A board connector assembly, comprises a shield and securing member as well as a connector member. The shield and securing member is configured for mounting on a board close to contacts on the board and is provided with a coupling for securing the connector member thereto. The connector member is provided with coupling for cooperation with the coupling on the shield and securing member for securing the connector member to the shield and securing member, thereby preventing the connector member from disturbing surrounding circuitry, and is further provided with contacts which, when the connector member is secured to the shield and securing member, is connected to the contacts on the board. The present invention also relates to shield and securing member and a connector member, respectively, for use in the board connector assembly, as well as to a printed wiring board comprising one or more board connector assemblies.
