Abstract:
1. A connector assembly for flex to flex connection comprising: a housing configured for electrically coupling a plurality of terminal ends of flexible assemblies, each one of said plurality of terminal ends of flexible assemblies comprising a plurality of terminal end electrical contacts; and a wafer with a first base side and an opposed second base side, said wafer comprising an insulator core with a plurality of wafer electrical connector contacts configured to electrically couple a first one of said plurality of terminal ends of said flexible assemblies at said first base side to a second one of said plurality of terminal ends of said flexible assemblies at said second base side, wherein each of said plurality of wafer electrical connector contacts comprises a first plurality of wafer electrical connector contacts exposed on said first base side and a second plurality of wafer electrical connector contacts exposed on said second base side, wherein each one of said first plurality of wafer electrical connector contacts is electrically coupled to a corresponding one of said second plurality wafer electrical connector contacts, wherein said wafer further comprises an interfacial seal and a circumferential double ended grounding pad on each of said first base side and said second base side.
