ABSTRACT:
A stacked electrical connector assembly of the present invention comprises a first connector having a first housing receiving a plurality of contacts therein, a second connector having a second housing securely engaged to the top of the first housing and having an insert block being received in the second housing, a front shell having a panel defining an upper opening and a lower opening for complementary connectors to extend therethrough, and a rear shell comprising a back plate and a top plate, which locks to the front shell. The first housing includes a base having a plurality of passageways in the configuration of a MINI DIN connector. The second housing has a baffle depending from its lower side and defining a plurality of second grooves therein. The insert block defines a through-hole in a rear side which accommodates a conversion device, and a mating cavity in a front side which accommodates a fiber optic mating connector. Several terminals depending from a lower side of the conversion device are received in the second grooves of the baffle. A dust-preventing plate pivotably mounted at a front of the second housing prevents entrance of dust particles into the mating cavity of the second connector when not connected to a fiber optic mating connector.
