Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a modular connector system having an improved mechanical support. SOLUTION: The connector system comprises a first connector assembly (20; 58) electrically connected to the wiring on a first printed-circuit board (26; 54) and a second connector assembly (30; 46) electrically connected to the wiring on a second printed-circuit board (28; 38). Each connector assembly comprises a large number of connector modules (12) joined in a prescribed array shape such as a column. In one of the connector assembly, the column has one or a plurality of drive modules (22; 62), which are engaged with a drive mechanism (32; 66) and either join or separate the connector assembly.

A connector system includes a first connector assembly (20;58) that is electrically connected to wiring on a first printed wiring board (26; 54) an d a second connector (30; 46) assembly that is electrically connected to wiring on a second printed wiring board (28; 38). Each connector assembly includes a number of connector modules (12) that are joined together in a predetermined array suc h as a row. In one of the connector assemblies, the row also includes one or more actuation modules (24; 62). The actuation module or modules are engaged by an actuator mechanism (32; 66) to force the connector assemblies into mating engagement or to draw them apart.
