Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0455367A2] Microstrip transmission of electrical signals between two arrays of signal conductors such as two printed circuit boards is maintained in a right angle electrical receptacle connector (2) in which signal contacts (70,80) are disposed on opposite sides of a central ground bus (90). The signal contacts (70,80) are urged inwardly into engagement with a central dielectric wall (32,34) and the ground bus (90) is similarly urged outwardly into engagement with the same wall (32,34) to establish the microstrip configuration between each row of terminals in the central ground bus (90). The receptacle connector (4) includes a right angle bend and the signal contacts (70,80) as well as the ground bus (90) also have a right angle bend. The insulative housing (10) of the right angle connector (2) comprises upper and lower housing members (12,14) which are snapped into engagement. Resilient arms, forming a part of a connector mounting assembly on the upper housing member (12), engage the lower housing member (14) to hold it in place. <IMAGE>
