ABSTRACT:
An LRM connector is joined to printed circuit boards and secured to cover plates of the LRM at an end thereof to be mated with mother board connector mounted within a black box. The LRM connector is float mounted within cover plates on said LRM and aligns itself with the mother board connector when the LRM is inserted into the black box while maintaining sealing engagement with the cover plates. A metal shroud of the LRM connector provides EMI shielding and engagement with the metal shroud of the mother board connector even if the two metal shrouds are slightly misaligned with respect to each other. A method for assembly includes forming separate contact subassemblies having dielectric material molded around body sections; rearward contact sections on free ends of elongated cantilever beams remain joined to carrier strips until being soldered to conductive pads of the VHSIC circuit cards; then the carrier strips are broken off.
