Printed circuit board connector assembly having contact shield with integral securing members

A connector assembly configured to electrically and mechanically mate to a printed circuit board (PCB), the connector assembly, comprising:

• a housing including a first ganging feature on a first side, and a second ganging feature on a second side that is opposite from the first side, wherein the second ganging feature is reciprocal to the first ganging feature, wherein the first and second ganging features are parallel to a longitudinal axis of the housing;
• and
• a contact shield retained by the housing, wherein the contact shield is configured to retain one or more electrical contacts.
