ABSTRACT:
A board-to-board interconnect connector apparatus is provided which substantially improves electrical connection even when some positional displacement occurs between a receptacle housing and a header housing. The connector apparatus includes the receptacle housing mountable on a mother board and the header housing mountable on a daughter board. Receptacle contact terminals are arranged in a parallel array in the receptacle housing, and header contacts terminals are arranged in another parallel array in the header housing. The surface of the contact terminal is angled relative to the direction of a pitch of the contact terminals. Thus, when some positional displacement of the receptacle housings occurs in the pitch array direction of the contact terminals, the receptacle contact terminals are kept in contact with the header contact terminals.
