Abstract
An electrical connector assembly (40) includes an insulative housing (44) defining a slot (46) formed in the front side of the housing (44). The insulative housing (44) also defines a first signal passages (48, 48a, 49, 49a) and second power passages (56, 56a) which each extend through the insulative housing (44) between the front side (55) and the rear side (57) of the housing (44). Moreover, each first and second passage (48, 48a, 49, 49a, 56, 56a) includes an opening (51, 51a, 54, 54a) into the slot (46). The electrical connector (40) of the present invention also includes a plurality of signal and power conductive members (50, 50a, 52, 52a, 58, 58a) each of which includes a respective signal and power contact portions (60, 60a, 64, 64a). The signal and power conductive members (50, 50a, 52, 52a, 58, 58a ) are further dimensioned to be positioned in the first and second respective passages (48, 48a, 49, 49a, 56, 56a) such that each respective signal and power contact portions (60, 60a, 64, 64a) extend through the respective openings (51, 51a, 54, 54a). The contact portions (60, 60a, 64, 64a) protrude into the slot (46) to contact respective signal and power conductive pads (33) …
