A receptacle assembly for an electrical connector is provided. The assembly includes a housing, a plurality of electrical contacts and a shield. The housing includes a mating end and a mounting end that are orthogonal to each other. The mating end of the housing is elongated along a longitudinal axis of the housing. The electrical contacts are held by the housing and extend between a mating end presented at the mating end of the housing and a mounting end configured to be mounted to a circuit board. The shield has a mating interface elongated along a longitudinal axis. The shield is configured to receive the electrical connector. The housing and the contacts are located within the shield. The longitudinal axes of the housing and the mating interface are orthogonal to the circuit board.

Receptacle for electrical connectors

A stacked electrical connector includes a dielectric housing having an upper face opposite a mounting face and opposed sides between the upper face and the mounting face. The housing holds one row of contacts in a lower contact area between lower side sections of the housing. Two rows of contacts are held in an upper contact area. The housing includes an unshielded spacing section separating the upper and lower contact areas. A lower shield includes a shroud surrounding the lower contact area and side panels that cover the lower side sections of the housing. An upper shield includes a shroud that surrounds the upper contact area.
