ABSTRACT:
An orthogonal connector system for connecting a first circuit board and a second circuit board oriented orthogonally with respect to the first circuit board includes a receptacle assembly and a header assembly mated with the receptacle assembly. The receptacle assembly is connected to the first circuit board and the header assembly is connected to the second circuit board. The receptacle assembly and the header assembly both have a housing and contact modules held within the corresponding housing. The contact modules have contact tails extending from a mounting edge thereof, where the contact tails of the receptacle connector are connected to the first circuit board and the contact tails of the header assembly are connected to the second circuit board. The contact modules have mating contacts extending from a mating edge thereof, where the mating edges are generally orthogonal with respect to the mounting edges. The mating contacts of the receptacle assembly are directly connected to the mating contacts of the header assembly. The mounting edge of the receptacle assembly is generally orthogonal with respect to the mounting edge of the header assembly.
