Zusammenfassung:Described is a single connector attachment (SCA) connector that improves blind mating between plug and receptacle SCA connectors. The SCA connector has an insulative shell with opposing end walls and opposing sidewalls. The end walls and sidewalls define a substantially rectangular recess within which a plurality of electrical contacts is disposed. One of the end walls of the shell has a chamfer. The slope of the chamfer enables plug and receptacle SCA connectors to continue coming together although their respective housings may come against each other before the alignment guiding features of the SCA connectors are able to achieve alignment.
