The upper portion defines an upper boardlock receiving region and the lower portion defines a lower boardlock receiving region whereby both of the upper boardlock and the lower boardlock have mounting legs extending downward out of the bottom surface of the housing for reaching the PC board on which the connector assembly is mounted and wherein the leg of the lower boardlock is aligned with and in front of that of the upper boardlock in a front-to-end direction. A spacer is positioned in a space defined between such pair of side walls and includes a plurality of apertures for vertical alignment of the contact tails of both the upper section and the lower section.
