Abstract
An electrical connector assembly (100) including: a housing (1) having an upper shield part (15) and a lower shield part (16) engaged with each other to form a rear body portion (12) and a front mating portion (13). Two printed circuit boards (2) are positioned in the housing. A spacer (3) is sandwiched between the two printed circuit boards. A metallic holder (8) surrounds the body portion of the housing. A metallic gasket (9) surrounds a rear section of the mating portion and located adjacent to the body portion. Each of the upper and lower shield parts has a first post positioning (154, 162) a corresponding one of the two printed circuit boards and a second post positioning (155, 163) the two printed circuit boards and the spacer.

An electrical connector assembly comprising:
- a housing having an upper shield part and a lower shield part engaged with each other to form a rear body portion and a front mating portion;
- two printed circuit boards positioned in the housing;
- a spacer sandwiched between the two printed circuit boards;
- a metallic holder surrounding the body portion of the housing;
- and
- a metallic gasket surrounding a rear section of the mating portion and located adjacent to the body portion, wherein
- each of the upper and lower shield parts has a first post positioning the corresponding one of the two printed circuit boards, and a second post positioning the corresponding one of the two printed circuit boards and the spacer.
An electrical connector assembly comprising:
- a metallic housing comprising an upper shield part and a lower shield part;
- two printed circuit boards disposed in and positioned by the housing;
- a metallic gasket assembled to a front mating portion of the housing;
- a metallic holder assembled to a rear body portion of the housing, the upper and lower shield parts bound by the metallic gasket and the metallic holder;
- a strain relief sandwiched by the first and second shield parts;
- and
- an engaging piece fastening the metallic holder to the strain relief.
An electrical connector assembly comprising:
- a housing essentially formed by a pair of shield parts stacked with each other in a vertical direction to commonly define a receiving room wherein a front portion of the housing is defined by only one of the shield parts to form a frame structure as a mating port communicating with an exterior in a front-to-back direction;
- a pair of printed circuit boards with a spacer sandwiched therebetween in a vertical direction perpendicular to said front-to-back direction to commonly received in the receiving room;
- each of said pair of shield parts including a post on an interior face to support the corresponding printed circuit board in the vertical direction, and a recess in said interior face open in the vertical direction to allow a side protrusion of the corresponding printed circuit board to be assembled therein and move until reach a shoulder of said recess so as to prevent the corresponding printed circuit board from moving in the front-to-back direction.
