Abstract
An electrical connector assembly includes a pair of modular subassemblies each having an outer housing with a mating face defining a mating portion for mating with a complementary connector in a mating direction. The outer housing also has a side face with a cavity. A terminal module includes a dielectric inner housing positioned in the cavity. A plurality of terminals are mounted on the inner housing, with contact portions at the mating portion for engaging appropriate contacts of the complementary mating connector. Therefore, the outer housings of the modular subassemblies can be joined at the side faces thereof to conceal the terminal modules therewithin.
