Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8502498A1] An electrical connector system comprises a connector receptacle including a body shell member (19) and a plurality of independent segments (20) with each segment supporting opposing rows of contacts (31, 32). The segments are supported in the body shell in an independently floating arrangement. Each segment includes a system permitting individual independent alignement of the segment to a circuit board. Preferably, the receptacle includes a low insertion force mechanism (30) which permits a circuit board or electronic module to be inserted or retrieved with very little effort by the operator.
