Abstract:
A connector assembly includes first and second connectors. Each connector includes a plurality of terminals A 1  through An, n is an integer≥2, sequentially arranged in a row. The connector assembly also includes a flat cable that includes a plurality of electrical conductors electrically connecting the terminals of the first and second connectors. For each i from 1 to n, terminal Ai of the first connector is electrically connected, via a different electrical conductor of the cable, to the terminal Ai of the second connector. The cable includes a bend greater than about 150° around at least two fold lines that extend across the entire width of the cable. Each of the first and second connectors is configured to mate with the same mating connector, such that when each of the first and second connectors mates with the same mating connector in a same plan view, the An terminals are both either on a left or a right side of the A 1  terminals.

Claim (Index 1):
A connector assembly, comprising:\n first and second connectors, each connector comprising:\n an insulative housing comprising a mating end for mating with a mating connector and an opposing cable end for receiving one or more cables; and \n a circuit board at least partially disposed within the insulative housing and comprising:\n an upper surface and an opposing lower surface; \n a mating section at a front end of the circuit board the mating section comprising a plurality of mating terminals on each of the upper and lower surfaces for making contact with corresponding terminals of a mating connector, the mating terminals comprising A terminals A 1  through An, where n is an integer\u22652, sequentially arranged on the upper surface and B terminals B 1  through Bn, sequentially arranged on the lower surface, terminal Ai, for each i from 1 to n, corresponding to and aligned with terminal Bi, the A 1  and An terminals of the first connector having a same positional relationship as the A 1  and An terminals of the second connector; and \n a termination section at a rear end of the circuit board and disposed at the cable end of the insulative housing, the termination section comprising a plurality of termination terminals on each of the upper and lower surfaces electrically connected to the mating terminals; and \n \n substantially flat first and second cables comprising a plurality of electrical conductors terminated at the termination terminals of the first and second connectors such that for each i from 1 to n, terminal Ai of the first connector is electrically connected, via a different electrical conductor of the first cable, to the terminal Ai of the second connector, and terminal Bi of the first connector is electrically connected, via a different electrical conductor of the second cable, to the terminal Bi of the second connector, wherein each cable includes a bend angle greater than about 150\u00b0 around at least two fold lines that extend across an entire width of the cable.
