Abstract: Daughter card assembly including a circuit board and leading and trailing connectors mounted to the circuit board. The leading and trailing connectors have mating ends that face in different directions along a board plane. The daughter card assembly also includes a support wall that is coupled to the circuit board and extends orthogonal to the circuit board. The support wall has a wall opening therethrough. The trailing connector is positioned on the circuit board such that the mating end substantially aligns with the wall opening. The daughter card assembly also includes a retention shroud that projects from an exterior surface of the support wall. The retention shroud defines a shroud passage that aligns with the wall opening. The shroud and wall openings form a receiving passage for receiving at least one of the trailing connector or a corresponding cable connector that mates with the trailing connector.

Abstract: Interposer socket includes a base substrate and a plurality of spring contacts coupled to the base substrate. Each of the spring contacts has an inclined section that extends away from a top side of the base substrate at a generally non-orthogonal orientation. The inclined section configured to be deflected toward the top side when an electronic module is mounted onto the interposer socket. The inclined section has a mating surface of the spring contact that is configured to engage the electronic module. The inclined section also includes first and second beam segments and a contact slot therebetween. The first and second beam segments extend in an oblique direction away from the top side. The contact slot has a slot width that is defined between inner edges of the first and second beam segments. The slot width increases as the contact slot extends in the oblique direction.
