Abstract

A card edge connector assembly comprising a first card edge connector comprising a first insulative housing, a pair of first latching arms disposed on opposite ends of the first insulative housing and a plurality of first conductive terminals retained in the first insulative housing; a second card edge connector including a second insulative housing, a pair of second latching arms located on the opposite ends of the second insulative housing and a plurality of second conductive terminals retained in the second insulative housing. The first and second terminals define pin-shaped solder portions respectively, wherein the first and second insulative housings define protruding portions and recessed portions mutually engaged with each other when the first and second insulative housings are disposed in a head to head arrangement. It can shorten distance between the first and second card edge connectors, which is conducive to miniaturization of connector assembly.
