An assembly (1) has a housing (10), a plug connector (20), and an electronic subassembly (30). The housing (10) has a guide member (11) and the electronic subassembly (30) has a corresponding mating member (31). The guide member (11) and the mating member (31) determine an installation direction (X) along which the electronic subassembly (30) can be moved into the housing (10). The plug connector (20) has a plug connector housing (21) arranged at the housing (10). At least one contact element (22) is arranged at the electronic subassembly (30). The at least one contact element (22) extends orthogonally to the installation direction (X). The plug connector housing (21) and/or the housing (10), for the respective contact element (22) arranged at the electronic subassembly (30), has a recess (12, 23) that is at least open in the installation direction (X). The respective contact element (22) can be moved through the recess when the electronic subassembly (30) is moved along the installation direction (X) into a final position located in the plug connector housing (21).

Interconnectors, interconnector assemblies, and methods for supporting components are provided. An interconnector as disclosed connects a supported component to another component or assembly securely and accurately, even where the supported component and the other component have different expansion or contraction characteristics. The interconnector includes a plurality of support elements disposed in an array. Each support element includes a support surface at a free end of the support element. The areas of the support surfaces decrease with distance from a center of the array. In a completed assembly, the free ends of the support elements in the array are joined to the supported component.

An electrical interconnect for passing high speed signals through an electronic system with a high density of signals and high signal integrity. The interconnect includes an electrical connector and a transition portion of a printed circuit board to which the connector is mounted. Signal conductors are connected to pads on the surface of the PCB using edge-to-pad mounting. The pads align with intermediate portions of the signal conductors such that transitions within the connector that could degrade signal integrity are avoided. The signal conductors may be positioned as individually shielded broadside coupled pairs extending in rows within the connector. Surface traces on the PCB connect the pads to signal vias aligned for vertical routing out of the connector footprint. Ground planes underlying the surface traces facilitate a transition from the signal paths in the connector to those in the PCB with low mode conversion avoiding resonances in the connector shields.

This disclosure provides a method and apparatus for connecting wires and interlocking wires to an electrical component. More specifically, an electrical connector that includes an insulative housing, two electrical contacts, and two interlocking contacts is disclosed. In an embodiment, each electrical contact includes a female end, a press-fit end, and a transition portion. The transition portion is designed such that the first female end and the first press-fit end may be properly aligned depending on the application. The transition portion also provides support and stability to the electrical contacts when they are disposed within the insulative housing. The insulative housing includes four contact recesses. In an embodiment, the electrical connector allows for the safe, efficient, re-usable, and reliable connection for connecting high-voltage wires to a corresponding sensitive electrical component (e.g., a printed circuit board).
