ABSTRACT:
A receptacle assembly for making electrical connections to a circuit board mounted in a chassis facilitates assembly of the components and avoids damage to the circuit board connections due to vibrations and shock. The assembly includes a receptacle connector having a housing adapted to be supported on a panel of the chassis and a plurality of terminals supported within the housing. A mounting bracket has a base portion and a grounding bracket clamps the base against the circuit board. Apertures in the base are aligned with a pattern of holes in the circuit board. A flange on the grounding bracket is attached to the panel and a standoff on the grounding bracket positions the mounting bracket and the circuit board in the chassis. A length of multiple conductor flexible cable has conductors with first ends connected to the terminals of the receptacle connector and second ends extending through the apertures for connection to the circuit board. The mounting bracket is also provided with upstanding latch arms including a shelf support portion which cooperate with the connector housing to releasably retain the housing on the bracket, supported in position spaced above the base.
