ABSTRACT:
A card edge connector 50 for electrically engaging a first and at least one other array of contact pads 46, 48 on a circuit board 40 comprises a first or inner subassembly 51 including housing member 52 having a first group of terminal members 20 disposed therein and a second or outer subassembly 71 including housing member 72 having at least one other group of terminal members 28 disposed therein. The first group of terminal members 20 is adapted to electrically engage the first array of contact pads 46 and the at least one other group of terminal members 28 is adapted to electrically engage the at least one other array of contact pads 48. The outer housing member 72 further including cavity means 86 adapted to receive the inner housing member 52 therein. In the preferred method of assembling connector 50, outer subassembly 71 is disposed over the inner subassembly 51 after the inner terminal members 20 have been electrically connected to their respective contact pads 46, typically by solder. The outer terminal members 28 are electrically connected to respective contact pads 48 after the connector 50 has been assembled. In the preferred embodiment each of the inner and outer housing members include two rows of terminal members 20, 28 respectively, the terminal members 20, 28 having opposed cantilevered beam contact sections 24, 32 respectively.
