ABSTRACT:
The invention comprises a modular electrical connector assembly having a housing, a first contact module, a second contact module, and a retention member. The first and second contact modules house a plurality of contacts terminated to flexible etched circuits, or other conductors, which are routed out of the rear of the assembly. The first contact module is loaded into the housing proximate the mating end. The second contact module is loaded behind the first contact module within the housing. Both modules are then retained by a retention member inserted behind both modules. The mating end of the electrical connector assembly is configured to receive a printed circuit card edge.
