Through board inverted connector

Abstract

A connector assembly (104) is configured to be mounted to a substrate (118) that has an opening (116) extending between a mounting side (316) and an opposing side (318). The connector assembly (104) includes a housing (114) and one or more contacts (112). The housing (114) has a front end (216) and a back end (218), with an interior chamber extending inwards from a mating interface. The front end (216) of the housing (114) is configured to be partially inserted through the opening (116) in the substrate (118) until a housing mounting surface (208) engages the mounting side (316) of the substrate (118). The contact (112) extends between a mating end and a contact mounting surface (202). The contact mounting surface (202) is configured to be mounted to the mounting side (316) of the substrate (118). The housing mounting surface (208) and the contact mounting surface (202) are substantially coplanar in a mounting plane, and a distance between the mating interface and the mounting plane is at least as great as a thickness of the substrate (118).
