Abstract
An electrical connector assembly of the present invention comprises an upper connector, a lower connector, a spacer, and a rear shield. The upper electrical connector comprises an insulative housing comprising a groove in a bottom surface thereof, a pair of shielding shells partially enclosing the housing, a plurality of electrical contacts accommodated in the insulative housing, and a front shield shielding the front and the top of the insulative housing. The front shield further defines a mounting hole in an upper section thereof for mounting the electrical connector assembly to an enclosure panel. The lower connector comprises a dielectric housing comprising a rib on a top surface thereof corresponding to the groove of the upper connector, a pair of inner shields partially enclosing the dielectric housing, and a plurality of electrical contacts mounted in the dielectric housing. Each of the electrical contacts of the upper and the lower electrical connectors comprises a soldering portion extending beyond the respective housings. The spacer forms a plurality of through holes for receiving soldering portions of corresponding electrical contacts of the upper and the lower electrical connectors and an intermediate portion engaging with the dielectric housing of the lower electrical connector. The rear shield encloses the spacer and rear portions of the upper and the lower electrical connectors.
