Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A connector ( 100 ) comprises a housing ( 1 ), an inner board ( 3 ) and a number of contacts ( 2 ) supported by the housing. The housing has a base portion ( 11 ), a first ( 16 ) and second side wall ( 15 ). The base portion defines a receiving cavity ( 14 ) for receiving a mating connector along a front-to-back direction. The first ( 16 ) and second side wall ( 15 ) are parallel to each other and backwardly extending from the base portion to defining a mounting room ( 17 ). The inner board is inserted into the mounting room along a back-to-front direction. The inner board has a first flange ( 37 ) cooperated with the first side wall, and a second flange ( 36 ) cooperated with the second side walls. The first side wall has a length greater than the second wall, and the first flange has a length smaller than the second flange. This relationship is used to prevent incorrect orientation of the inner board in the housing.
