Abstract (en)

A card edge connector assembly includes a printed circuit card (10) having an edge (12) and a plurality of first conductive pads (20) arranged in a pattern on one side of the card near the edge, and a plurality of second conductive pads (22) arranged in a pattern on the opposite side of the card spaced inwardly of the edge and the first conductive pads. An elongated housing (24) is provided with a card receiving slot (25) for receiving the edge of the printed circuit card. A plurality of pairs of contact elements (32a, 32b) are mounted in the housing along the length of the slot. Each pair of contact elements includes a short contact element having a spring contact portion (78) for engaging one of the first conductive pads, and a long contact element having a spring contact portion for engaging one of the second conductive pads. The contact portions of each pair of contact elements are spatially overlapped each other in a direction transversely of the slot to increase the deflection capabilities of the contact elements.
