摘要

A connector assembly includes a connector, a circuit board, a housing. The connector may include a first portion, a second portion, and/or a third portion. The circuit board may include a first circuit board portion and/or a second circuit board portion. The connector may be configured to connect the first circuit board portion and/or the second circuit board portion to the housing. The first portion may be connected to the housing; the second portion may be connected to the first portion of the circuit board, and/or the third portion may be connected to the second portion of the circuit board. The first portion may include a first engagement portion, the second portion may include a second engagement portion, and/or the third portion may include a third engagement portion. The first engagement portion, the second engagement portion, and/or the third engagement portion may be disposed substantially perpendicular to each other.

說明書

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure generally relates to connectors and connector assemblies that may, for example, be used in connection with circuit boards and/or electrical assemblies.

BACKGROUND

This background description is set forth below for the purpose of providing context only. Therefore, any aspect of this background description, to the extent that it does not otherwise qualify as prior art, is neither expressly nor impliedly admitted as prior art against the instant disclosure.

Some electrical assemblies may be relatively complex to use and/or to assemble. Some electrical assemblies and/or connectors may not be configured for vertically connecting a circuit board to housing.

There is a desire for solutions/options that minimize or eliminate one or more challenges or shortcomings connectors. The foregoing discussion is intended only to illustrate examples of the present field and should not be taken as a disavowal of scope.

SUMMARY

The foregoing and other aspects, features, details, utilities, and/or advantages of embodiments of the present disclosure will be apparent from reading the following description, and from reviewing the accompanying drawings.
