Abstract

A connector assembly includes a housing and contacts. The connector includes a mounting face and a mating face disposed transverse to one another. The mounting face is used to mount the connector to a substrate. The mating face has an elongated slot that is configured to receive a mating edge of a card edge module. The contacts extend between opposite contact tips at each of the mounting face and the mating face. The contact tips at the mounting face are configured to electrically couple the connector with the substrate. The contact tips at the mating face are configured to electrically couple the connector with the card edge module. The card edge module is oriented transverse to the substrate when the card edge module mates with the connector.
