Electrical connector assembly with springs
First Claim
1. An electrical connector assembly, comprising:
- a top shell having a cutout exposed along a vertical direction;
a bottom shell, shaped in a bowl, comprising a bottom plate and defining a receiving room with the top shell;
a connector module located vertically in the receiving room and extending through the cutout;
a printed circuit board (PCB), electrically connecting with the connector module and comprising a pair of limiting holes;
a pair of mating screws having threads and screw caps, the threads passing through the bottom plate and the corresponding limiting holes to lock with the top shell; and
a pair of spring members supported by the mating screws and compressed between a bottom surface of the PCB and a top surface of the screw caps.

Abstract
An electrical connector assembly (100) includes a top shell (11), a bottom shell (12) forming a bottom plate (32) defining a receiving room with the top shell, a connector module (51), a printed circuit board (PCB) (52) electrically connecting with the connector module, a pair of mating screws (43) and a pair of spring members (430). The top shell forms a cutout (110) exposed along a vertical direction. The connector module is located vertically in the receiving room and extends through the cutout. The PCB includes a pair of limiting holes (521) and the mating screws have threads and screw caps. The threads pass through the bottom plate and the corresponding limiting holes to lock with the top shell. The pair of spring members is supported by the mating screws, and compressed between a bottom surface of the PCB and a top surface of the screw caps.
