ABSTRACT:
A stacked electrical connector assembly (2) is disclosed of surface mounting on a circuit board (CB). The assembly comprises a sheet metal supporting bracket (4) having superposed upper and lower connector mounting lugs (20 and 24). An upper standard electrical connector (38) is mounted to the upper mounting lugs (20), a lower standard pin header connector N) being mounted to the lower mounting lugs (24). The pins (54) of the pin header connector (10) are connected to contact tails (46) of the upper connector (38) by means of a flat flexible cable (12). A lower standard multi-contact electrical connector (8) is mounted to the lower lugs (24) in front of the pin header connector (10) and has contact tails (76) projecting below the bracket (4). The assembly can be mounted on the circuit board (CB) by means of boardlocks (14) passed through holes in the lower mounting lugs (24) and in flanges (56 and 78) of the lower connectors (8 and 10) so that the contact tails (76) and lower portions of the pins (54) extend into holes in the circuit board (CB). Spring locking clips (14) serve to ground the bracket (4) to ground conductors on the circuit board.
