  • Patent number: 7794259
    Abstract: An electrical connector assembly (100) for connecting memory modules (200) to a printed circuit board (PCB) (300), includes a first and second connectors (10, 20) respectively mounted on two opposite surfaces of the PCB. The first and second connectors each defines an insulative housing (11/21) and a plurality of contacts retained in the housing. Each of the housing defines a front face and an inserted slot (13/23) running through the front face along a longitudinal direction. Each of the contacts defines an elastic arm partly projecting into the inserted slot and a soldering leg connecting to the PCB. The housing of the first connector provides a cavity (172) at a bottom portion thereof. A part of the second connector projects beyond the top surface of the PCB, and the soldering legs of the second connector run through the opposite surfaces of the PCB and enter into the cavity.

  • Publication number: 20090163055
    Abstract: An electrical connector assembly comprises an upper connector and a lower connector stacked vertically for electrically connecting two memory modules to a PCB. Said upper connector includes a plurality of first contacts having a plurality of horizontal first soldering legs which are soldered on a top surface of the PCB by SMT. Said lower connector includes a plurality of second contacts having a plurality of second vertical second soldering legs which are soldered on a bottom surface of the PCB. Said bottom surface of the PCB has a plurality of soldering holes which are not getting through the top surface of the PCB for retaining said vertical second soldering legs therein so as to provide an available soldering area for said horizontal first soldering legs on the top surface of the PCB. Said electrical connector assembly reduces the size and the occupancy on said PCB efficiently, which saves the space of the PCB.
