ABSTRACT:
Multiple connector interface assembly is used to connect cables to a peripheral device. The connector interface assembly includes a conductive body having a plurality of connector alignment slots. Mating female cable connectors are mounted on a printed circuit board and aligned within each connector alignment slot. Printed circuit board connectors are mounted on the rear of the printed circuit board with signal paths leading from the female cable connectors to the rear mounted printed circuit board connectors. The printed circuit board connectors are plugged directly into the motherboard of the peripheral device to eliminate the need for additional interfaces. Cable connectors are inserted in the connector alignment slots and connect with the mating female cable connectors. Thus, the connector alignment slots physically protect the cable connectors from damage due to misalignment as well as support the cable connectors. The interface assembly also provides electromagnetic interference shielding and protection from accidental electrostatic discharge.
