ABSTRACT:
A stacked connector assembly comprises a dielectric main housing, a mating member, a connecting member and a middle circuit board for electrically connecting the mating member with the connecting member. The middle circuit board forms a plurality of contact fingers for engaging with corresponding mating contacts retained in the mating member, and a plurality of holes for engaging with corresponding connecting terminals retained in the connecting member. Thus, the middle circuit board electrically connects the mating member with the connecting member thereby forming a subassembly. Moreover, electronic elements could be mounted on the middle circuit board for performing certain functions, such as grounding, anti-cross-talk, filtering impure signal, etc., thereby improving the performance of the stacked connector assembly. The subassembly is then guidably inserted into a receiving chamber defined in the main housing by a pair of guiding rails formed on inner surfaces of opposite side walls of the main housing. Upper and lower mating openings are defined in a front face of the main housing and are separated by a partition integrally connected with the opposite side walls for insertion of a mating connector.
