ABSTRACT
Electrical Connector Assembly
To reduce wear on the contact area of contacts of
an electrical connector assembly each of the contacts
of a male connector of the assembly is provided with a
displacement member which is arranged to cooperate with
respective contact members of a corresponding female
connector of the assembly to displace the contact
members during mating of the connectors. In a
particular embodiment a printed circuit board (2)
carries an attachment in the form of a comb which
attachment has a plurality of displacement members (8)
respectively arranged to lie alongside printed contact
areas (9) of the printed circuit board(2). In use a
part (7) of each contact member of a female connector
rides up a forward ramp of the respective displacement
member (8) travels along a plateau and rides down a rear-
ward ramp after the leading edge of the printed circuit
board (2) has passed over the contact area of the
respective female contact. Preferably electrical contact
between the female contact and the contact area (9) of
the printed circuit board (2) is permitted after the
leading edge has passed over the contact area but before
completion of mating of the printed circuit board (2) to
the female connector so as to assist the removal of any
film or debris in the respective contact areas.
