Abstract
An electrical connector assembly (100) mounted on a printed circuit board includes an insulative housing (1) defining an upper space (10) and a lower space (11), a contact module (2) received in the upper space, a stacked USB (3) received in the lower space, a daughter circuit board (5) and a transform module (6). The contact module includes a plurality of conductive terminals (22) for soldering to the daughter circuit board. The stacked USB includes a dielectric body (31) and a metal frame for shielding the body. The metal frame includes a grounding finger (33) for electrically connecting the daughter circuit board, thereby forming an electrical connection between the electrical connector assembly and the printed circuit board.
Claims15
An electrical connector assembly comprising:
- an insulative housing defining a first space and a second space;
- a daughter circuit board comprising a plurality of circuit traces;
