Electrical connector assembly

A connector assembly comprising:

• a connector housing having a front face;
• a main substrate disposed in a substantially vertical orientation within, and substantially orthogonal to the front face of, said housing, said main substrate including an edge section, said main substrate including at least one electrically conductive pathway adjacent to said edge section;
• upper left and upper right conductor-holding halves and lower left and lower right conductor-holding halves, laterally and longitudinally aligned with each other, mounted onto opposite faces of the edge section and adapted to form a complete upper conductor-holding member and a complete lower conductor-holding member, respectively;
• and
• an upper row of conductors disposed within said upper left and upper right conductor-holding halves, and a lower row of conductors disposed within said lower left and lower right conductor-holding halves, said upper and lower rows of conductors being in electrical connection with said at least one electrically conductive pathway of said main substrate.

An electrical connector assembly comprising:

• an insulative housing defining a plug receiving cavity therein;
• a plurality of contacts disposed in the housing, each of said contacts defining a first horizontal section extending along a front-to-back direction, a spring contacting section obliquely and rearwardly extending from a front end of the first horizontal section and into the plug receiving cavity for mechanically and electrically connected to corresponding terminals of a plug which is inserted into the plug receiving cavity, a board mount end secured to a printed circuit board, and a connection section linked between the board mount end and a rear end of the first horizontal section;
• and
• an insulative contact holder retaining said plurality of contacts therein;
• wherein
• said first horizontal sections of said plurality of contacts are located in a horizontal plane extending along said front-to-back direction, said printed circuit board is located in a first vertical plane extend along a firs plane, said connection sections of said plurality of contacts are located in a second vertical plane perpendicular to both said horizontal plane and said first vertical plane, said spring contacting sections are commonly located in a same oblique plane which is oblique to both said horizontal plane and said second vertical plane while perpendicular to said first vertical plane.
