  • Patent number: 5433618
    Abstract: A connector assembly for printed circuit boards comprises a first connector part and a second connector part. The first connector part has a first housing of insulating material comprising a bottom and two opposite side walls and male contact elements mounted in the bottom of the housing being arranged in rows and columns. The second connector part has a second housing of insulating material adapted to be inserted into the first housing with an insertion side and with female contact elements mounted in the housing and arranged in a corresponding manner in rows and columns. A ground contact plate is provided at both sides of each at least one column of female contact elements, wherein the ground contact plates at the insertion side of the second housing are projecting out of said housing along a distance substantially corresponding with the thickness of the bottom of the first housing. Slots are provided in the bottom of the first housing for receiving the ground contact plates.

  • Patent number: 5392371
    Abstract: A connector assembly for interconnecting optical and/or electrical conductors comprises a first guiding plate (3) to be embedded in a printed circuit board (1) and a second guiding plate (11). The guiding plates have one or more guiding channels (4, 12) for first conductors and second conductors to be connected with the first conductors respectively. Each conductor includes a contact pad in the main surface of the corresponding printed circuit board or guiding plate. The guiding plates comprise a projection (13, 19) and a slot (16, 21) for mutually positioning the contact pads of the conductors. The projection and slot have co-operating straight reference surfaces (14, 17, 20, 22) located at a predetermined position with respect to the guiding channels and these reference surfaces are pressed together to accurately align the guiding channels of the guiding plates.
