ABSTRACT:
A low profile electrical connector assembly includes plug and receptacle connectors having mating dielectric housings each mounting a plurality of terminals which include contact portions for interengagement with the contact portions of the terminals of the other connector. The terminals include mounting portions for surface connection to circuit traces on a pair of printed circuit boards. The receptacle terminals are generally U-shaped as defined by a first leg that is joined to the respective mounting portion of the terminal and a free spring contact leg that is engageable with the contact portion of one of the terminals of the other connector and which is preloaded on a shoulder of the receptacle housing. The first leg includes a proximal end fixed to the housing and a distal end movably supported therein to permit a portion of the first leg between the proximal end and the distal end to be flexibly movable into a slot in the housing during mating of the connectors.
