Connector assembly having auxiliary device to support the connector against tilting

An electrical connector assembly comprising:

• a one-piece printed circuit board,
• an electrical connector mounted upon the printed circuit board and comprising:
• a housing unit defining a mounting portion seated upon the printed circuit board and a mating portion extending forwardly from the mounting portion, substantially in a cantilever manner spaced from the printed circuit board thereunder, with a mating port which defines a mating direction along a front-to-back direction;
• a plurality of terminals disposed in the housing unit, each of said terminals including a contact portion located in the mating portion and exposed to the mating port, and a tail portion located around the mounting portion and connected to the printed circuit board;
• and
• an auxiliary supporter detachably assembled to the connector;
• wherein
• said supporter provides a supporting surface, other than the mounting portion, which is located in front of the mounting portion and abuts against the printed circuit board for facilitating reliably assembling the connector to the printed circuit board, but will be removed during normal use.

An electrical connector assembly comprising:

• an electrical connector comprising:
• an insulative housing defining a mounting portion with a mounting face for being seated upon a printed circuit board under a condition that said mounting face is essentially located at a lower level of the housing, and a mating portion extending forwardly from the mounting portion substantially in a cantilever manner, with a mating port which defines a mating direction along a front-to-back direction;
• and
• a plurality of terminals received in the housing, each terminal provided with a contact portion located in the mating port and a solder tail extending out of the housing and adapted to be soldered to the printed circuit board;
• and
• an auxiliary supporter detachably assembled to the connector, and provided with a stand adapted for standing on the printed circuit board.
