Abstract:
An electrical assembly, comprising:a guiding frame comprising a pair of spaced guiding beams and a pair of vertically spaced transverse plates interconnecting the guiding beams to define a mating port therebetween; an electrical connector comprising: an insulative housing comprising a mating tongue having a mating face and a plurality of passageways defined in the mating face; a plurality of contacts retained in the insulative housing, each contact comprising a resilient arm received in a corresponding passageway, the resilient arm having a contact portion extending beyond the mating face of the mating tongue; and a shield member surrounding the insulative housing; and a module comprising a daughter card having a mating edge and a plurality of conductive pads arranged on one side of the mating edge, the daughter card and the electrical connector being inserted into the guiding frame and the mating edge and the mating tongue stackedly received in the mating port, the contact portions of the contacts resiliently abutting against corresponding conductive pads of the daughter card, the transverse plates tightly holding the mating edge and the mating tongue in the mating port to ensure a proper normal force between the contact and the conductive pad, wherein the guiding frame is formed with a strengthening rib interconnecting the transverse plates, and the mating tongue of the electrical connector and the mating edge of the daughter card respectively define a keyway and a gap for receiving the strengthening rib.
