Control module assembly
First Claim
1. A control module assembly comprising:
- a module housing defining a receiving cavity therein having a front opening;
a printed circuit board adapted to be housed in said receiving cavity; and
a header connector including a plurality of contacts mounted on the printed circuit board and accessible from the front opening, the header connector including interfaces adapted for mating with complementary connectors and interlocked with the opening, and having sets of different passageways accommodating the contacts so as to receive the complementary connectorsa front bezel installed onto the header connector and attached to the module housing, whereinthe front bezel includes shrouds for sheltering the contacts received in sets of passageways to form said interfaces; and
whereinthe header connector has a plurality of abutment tabs projecting upwardly from a top surface thereof and the front bezel defines a plurality of slots in a rear of a top wall thereof for engaging with said abutment tabs.
