ABSTRACT:
A high speed connector assembly includes a first surface-mount connector (SMC) and a second SMC. The first SMC includes a first flexible printed circuit (FPC) that has conductors that extend from a first FPC edge to a second FPC edge. The first edge includes surface-mount contact structures for surface mounting to a first printed circuit board. The second SMC includes a second FPC that has conductors that extend from a first FPC edge to a second FPC edge. The first edge includes surface-mount contact structures for surface mounting to a second printed circuit board. A set of contact beams is disposed along the second FPC edge. The first and second SMCs are mateable such that the contact beams make electrical contact between conductors in the first FPC and conductors in the second FPC. The FPC of the second SMC flexes to adjust for misalignments between the first and second SMCs.
