ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly for mounting and securing first and second electrical connectors (120, 220) to a printed circuit board (24) having a boardlock receiving aperture (56) includes a first connector (120), a first connector boardlock (122), a second connector (220), and a second connector boardlock (222). The first connector (120) includes a dielectric housing (26) having a boardlock receiving recess (154) and a mounting face (30), said first connector (120) positioned on a first surface (146) of the board (24) with the recess (154) aligned with the aperture (56). A boardlock (122), disposed in the first connector housing recess (154), has a first portion (58) received and secured in the recess (154) and a second portion (68) received and secured in the boardlock receiving aperture (56). The second portion (68) of the boardlock (122) comprises a pair of springs (72, 74) defining an elongate slot (70) therebetween, the springs (72, 74) extending from the first portion (58) to an end (80) of the second portion (68) beyond the mounting face (30), the end (80) being open. The second connector (220) includes a dielectric housing (26) having a boardlock receiving recess (254) and a mounting face (30), said second connector (220) positioned on a second surface (246) of the board (24) with the recess (254) aligned with the aperture (56). A like boardlock (222), disposed in the second connector housing recess (254), has a first portion (58) received and secured in the recess (54) and a second portion (68) received and secured in the boardlock receiving aperture (56). The boardlock (222) of the second connector (220) is at an angle to the boardlock (122) of the first connector (120).
