Abstract
A stacked connector assembly comprises upper and lower connectors. Each of the upper and lower connectors comprises an upper or a lower housing, a corresponding upper or lower insert member received within the corresponding upper or lower housing, and a plurality of upper or lower contacts retained in the corresponding upper or lower insert member. The upper insert member and the upper contacts are substantially the same as the lower insert member and the lower contacts. The upper connector is L-shaped and defines a receiving space for engaging with the lower connector, while the lower connector forms a pair of dove-tailed engaging ribs for engaging with corresponding dove-tailed grooves defined in the upper connector, thereby easily engaging or disengaging the upper and lower connectors.
