ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly (10) comprises of a pair of plug and receptacle board-to-board connectors (12, 14). Each connector (12, 14) has an insulative housing (50, 16) with a plurality of contacts (54, 24) wherein each contact (54, 24) has substantially a cantilever type spring arm with a maximum deflection apex (B, A) thereof. Mated plug and receptacle connectors (12, 14) pass the maximum deflection apexes (B, A) of the contacts with each other to provide positive locking thereof. Each connector (12, 14) further includes a grounding plate (64, 32) longitudinally extending along the housing (50, 16) wherein coupling means (66, 35) are formed respectively on the grounding plate (64, 32) of each connector (12, 14) for combining such pair of grounding plates (64, 32) together. A pair of mounting devices (76, 38) are disposed adjacent two opposite ends of the housing (50, 16) of each connector (12, 14) and mechanically and electrically engaged with the respective distal ends of the corresponding grounding plate (64, 32) in the same connector (12, 14).
