Abstract
A stacked electrical connector comprises triple stacked dielectric housings with a similar structure, a bottom, a middle and a top conductive terminal groups and two sets of transition contacts engaging with the middle and the top terminal groups, a one-piece grounding contact having three contacting arms inserting into the three stacked housings, a spacer and a conductive shield enclosing the stacked housings and the two sets of the transition contacts. The middle and the top terminal groups have a same structure, thereby simplifying the manufacture of the stacked electrical connector. An upper and a lower retaining blocks are prepared for fastening to the middle and the top housings. The spacer forms a pair of latching posts engaging with the lower retaining block for fixing the stacked housings against the spacer and defines a plurality of grooves to position the two sets of transition contacts.
