ABSTRACT:
A stacked electrical connector having a plurality of connector members for attachment to cables of an opposite gender and having angulate contacts which are arranged in a plurality of parallel rows that are received by a printed circuit board or the like. Each connector member has a cable-supporting face and mounting holes on opposed sides of the face. Each bracket of a pair of L-shaped brackets includes a horizontal plate and a vertical plate, with the vertical plate having eyelets aligned with the mounting holes of the connector members. An internally threaded post is inserted into each eyelet and the aligned mounting hole, and is fixed in place. Thus, the L-shaped brackets support the connector members in fixed relation. The posts are internally threaded to receive fastening hardware to mechanically attach a cable to the associated connector member. The vertical plate of each L-shaped bracket extends along a plane common to the base side of the lowermost connector member. Eyelets in the vertical plate receive tangs which are used to mechanically attach the stacked electrical connector to a printed circuit board or the like.
