ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly has a receptacle module and a pin module that interconnect. Stiffener engagement projections and recesses are provided along the sides of the receptacle and pin modules in an alternating fashion. The recesses are sized and shaped to receive the stiffener engagement projections of a respective neighboring module. Stainless steel elongated stiffener plates removably engage the pin and receptacle modules in both an X-direction and/or a Y-direction. The stiffener plates have slots that extend partly through the plates and align with the stiffener engagement projections and receiving recesses. The slots receive respective ones of the projections of the neighboring pin and receptacle modules.
