Abstract

An electrical connector assembly includes an electrical connector having a connected position and contacting devices in the electrical connector for electrically contacting terminals of devices external to the electrical connector. The assembly also includes devices for holding the electrical connector in the connected position while the contacting devices are electrically connected. Furthermore, the contacting devices and the devices for holding the electrical connector are spatially separate from one another. One embodiment of the electrical connector is for connecting first and second printed circuit boards.
