Abstract:
A modular, hybrid electrical connector suitable for use as a power connector with contacts for different types of power. Portions of the connector may be electrically and mechanically connected to an electronic assembly at different times or in different ways. A first portion of the connector may be electrically connected to a printed circuit board within the assembly. A second portion may be subsequently attached to the first portion and electrically connected to other components within the assembly through cables. With this configuration, the first portion may carry power contacts, coupled to a DC supply through the printed circuit board, and the second portion may carry power contacts, coupled to an AC supply through the cables. The first portion may be soldered to the printed circuit board such as through a reflow operation, without the heat of the reflow damaging the insulation of the cable, which may degrade if heated.

Claim (Index 21):
A method of manufacturing an electronic assembly including a printed circuit board having a plurality of vias therein and a connector, the method comprising:\n mounting a first portion of the connector to the printed circuit board, the mounting comprising making electrical connections between contacts in the first portion and vias of the printed circuit board; attaching a second portion of the connector to the first portion of the connector by sliding an engagement feature of the second portion with respect to a complementary engagement feature on the first portion, wherein the second portion of the connector comprises contacts attached to cables.
