Patent ID: 7736183

Claim:
A connector assembly comprising: a housing having a mating interface and a mounting interface, the mating interface configured to engage an upper substrate and the mounting interface configured to engage a lower substrate to mechanically interconnect the upper and lower substrates; a signal contact continuously extending between and protruding from the mating and mounting interfaces, the signal contact configured to communicate a data signal between the upper and lower substrates; a power contact extending between and protruding from the mating and mounting interfaces, the power contact configured to communicate electrical power between the upper and lower substrates, wherein the housing separates the upper and lower substrates by a predetermined stack height; and a contact organizer disposed between the mating interface of the housing and the upper substrate when the housing engages the upper substrate, the contact organizer comprising openings extending therethrough, wherein the signal contact and the power contact mate with the upper substrate by extending through the openings in the contact organizer.
