An HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) type electrical connector assembly (50) comprising:

• an insulative body (2) comprising at least one top recess (23) having at least one top tab (231), and at least one bottom tab (211);
• a plurality of parallel conductors (3);
• a conductor mounting unit (5) including:
• an upper holding member (6) comprising a body (61), a plurality of lengthwise bottom grooves (62) being not identical each other, an enlargement (63) formed between two adjacent grooves (62), two side projections (64) formed on the enlargement (63), a hole (67) formed through either side of the body (61), and two slits (69) formed on the body (61);
• a lower holding member (7) comprising a body (71), a plurality of lengthwise top grooves (72) being not identical each other, an enlargement (73) formed between two adjacent grooves (72), two side projections (74) formed on the enlargement (73), a hole (77) formed through either side of the body (61), and two slits (79) formed on the body (71);
• and
• a rear member (4) comprising a rectangular plate (42) including a plurality of rear troughs (43), two top side posts (44), and two bottom side posts (44), two latches (41) extended from two front corners of the plate (42), and a conductor receiving unit (45) including a projected front opening (46), a plurality of cavities (47) in the front opening (46), and two indentations (48) proximate two ends of the front opening (46), a zone (450) formed on each of top and bottom of the front opening (46), a slope (451) extended from a top edge of the front opening (46) to a front end of the zone (450), and two platforms (452) formed at both sides of the zone (450);
• a metal front housing (1) formed by bending a metal sheet and comprising a front projected sheath (10) including upper and lower flanges (11, 12) extended rearwards for fastening the insulative body (2), the rear member (4) and the conductor mounting unit (5) together;
• and
• a case (8) comprising a top shell (82) of U section including a plurality of latches (8242, 8252) disposed on its sidewall (824, 825), and a bottom shell (81) of U section including a plurality of latches (8142, 8152) disposed on its sidewall (814, 815) such that the latches (8242, 8252) on the top shell (82) are adapted to snap into place on the bottom shell (81) and the latches (8142, 8152) on the bottom shell (81) are adapted to snap into place on the top shell (82) for fastening both the bottom and the top shells (81, 82) together;
• wherein the conductors (3) are placed in the grooves (62, 72) for fastening the conductors (3) therein and then the same squeezing in the troughs (43), portions of the conductors (3) to be soldered are extended to position in the zone (450), the posts (44) are inserted into the holes (67, 76) for assembling the rear member (4), the upper holding member (6), and the lower holding member (7) together, and the latches (41) are inserted into openings (131, 141) for fastening so as to finish an assembly of the conductor mounting unit (5);
• and
• an assembly of the connector assembly (50) is finished after assembling the front housing (1) with the body (2), the conductors (3), and the conductor mounting unit (5).
