Abstract
A connector assembly includes a printed circuit having a component surface, and an electrical connector having a bottom side mounted on the component surface of the printed circuit. The electrical connector extends a length from a mating face to a rear side that is opposite the mating face. The electrical connector is configured to mate with a mating connector at the mating face. The assembly includes a support member that includes a body having a connector face and a circuit face. The support member is positioned such that the connector face engages the rear side of the electrical connector and the circuit face engages the component surface of the printed circuit to support the electrical connector on the printed circuit.
