ABSTRACT:
A pair of board-to-board connectors (10, 30) including a receptacle connector (10) and a plug connector (30). The receptacle connector (10) includes an insulative first housing (12) having a plurality of first passageways (14) for receiving a corresponding number of first contacts (16) therein, respectively. Each first contact (16) is of a resilient bellow type and the distal end (22) thereof abuts against the butting wall (26) of the housing (12) for pre-loading consideration, thus controlling the contact gap for mating. The plug connector (30) includes an insulative second housing (32) having a plurality of second passageways (34) for receiving a corresponding number of second contacts (36) therein, respectively. Each second contact (36) is of a stiff stick type and the distal end (42) thereof abuts against the side wall (44) of the housing (32) for confronting the mated corresponding first contact (16). A pair of lateral projections (48, 50) are formed at either end of each housing (12, 32) for protecting the tails of (20, 40) the contacts (16, 36) therebetween.
