Abstract: A connector assembly includes a housing, a connector interface body, an elongated shaft, and a cam. The housing has an opening extending into the front face and an elongated channel oriented along the longitudinal axis. The cam is within the opening of the housing and includes a passageway through which a shaft of the housing extends. Rotation of the shaft rotates the cam to engage and drive the connector interface body away from the housing. The cam includes a collar protruding from the cam and extending along a periphery of the passageway. The collar has a clearance dimension along a first direction that is smaller than a gap between the retention features of the housing and an interference dimension along a transverse direction that is larger than the gap. The cam is retained in the housing when the collar engages retention features of the housing across the interference dimension.

Abstract: A connector assembly including a connector that has a mating surface with an array of connector terminals thereon. The mating surface interfaces with a side surface of a daughter card assembly when the daughter card assembly is moved to an engaged position. The array of connector terminals are configured to engage an array of card terminals of the daughter card assembly. The connector assembly also includes a guide assembly that has a guide channel and a cam member that slidably engages the guide channel to direct the daughter card assembly to an offset position. In the offset position, the side and mating surfaces form a non-orthogonal angle with respect to each other. The guide channel is configured to permit the daughter card assembly to be rotated about an axis of rotation so that the daughter card assembly moves from the offset position to the engaged position.

Abstract: An electrical connector for electrically coupling an electronic module and an electrical component. The connector includes a connector body that has first and second mating surfaces. The connector body includes interconnects that extend through the connector body between the first and second mating surfaces for electrically coupling the module and the component. The connector body has a hole extending therethrough along a central axis. The hole is configured to receive a guide pin from one of the module and the component. The connector also includes surface mount projections that are coupled to the connector body and extend toward the central axis of the hole. The projections engage and flex against the guide pin when the guide pin is inserted into the hole. The projections form an interference fit with the guide pin to hold the connector body in a mounted position.
