Abstract: An electrical connector assembly is configured to be mounted to a circuit board having opposite first and second sides that are interconnected by a board edge. The connector assembly includes first and second connectors disposed along the board edge. The connectors are configured to mate with at least one of mating connectors and a circuit board of an external device to electrically couple the first and second connectors with the external device. Each of the first and second connectors has a center signal contact and a shield shell that extends around the center signal contact. The center signal contact of the first connector engages the first side of the circuit board and the center signal contact of the second connector engages the second side of the circuit board. The first and second connectors mate with the at least one of the mating connectors and the circuit board along parallel mating directions.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a housing and an outer electrical contact held by the housing. The outer electrical contact includes an interior cavity, a mounting end held by the housing, and a mating interface. The outer electrical contact is configured to mate with an electrical jack at the mating interface. A channel is defined between the housing and the outer electrical contact. A locking member is held within the channel between the housing and the outer electrical contact. The locking member is configured to engage the electrical jack. The electrical connector also includes an inner electrical contact having a mating end held within the interior cavity of the outer electrical contact. The outer electrical contact extends around the mating end of the inner electrical contact. The mating end of the inner electrical contact includes a receptacle configured to receive an inner mating contact of the electrical jack.
