Abstract

A durable modular connector assembly, particularly for use as a daughter board connector. The connector is made up of connector modules organized on a stiffener. Each connector module includes an alignment block to frictionally engage contact tails. The stiffener is connected to both the base and the alignment block so that the resulting module is rigidly held together and to the stiffener. The connector is therefore less susceptible to damage.
