Abstract
An electrical connector assembly including an electrical connector that has a connector body with mating and interior sides facing in opposite directions. The electrical connector also includes electrical contacts that are held by the connector body. The connector assembly also includes an interposer having a connector side, an opposite board side, and plated vias that extend into the interposer from at least one of the connector or board sides. The connector side engages the interior side of the electrical connector. The electrical contacts of the electrical connector are electrically coupled to corresponding vias. The connector assembly also includes board contacts that extend from the board side of the interposer and are electrically coupled to corresponding vias. The board contacts are communicatively coupled to the electrical contacts through the interposer.
