Abstract

A stacked connector assembly includes a first connector device and a second connector device stacked on the first connector device. The first connector device includes an insulative housing retaining first conductive contacts therein. The second connector device includes a second insulative housing retaining second conductive contacts therein. An inner shielding member encompasses the first connector device and is partially sandwiched between the first and second housings. The first housing has a top face in which two slots are defined. The slots are spaced from each other a predetermined distance and each has an side wall opposite to each other. The second housing has a bottom face positioned on the top face of the first housing with the inner shielding member partially sandwiched therebetween. Two sets of retention projections are formed on the bottom face of the second housing for extending through holes defined in the inner shielding and frictionally engaging the side walls of the slots, forming interferential engagement therebetween for retaining the housings together. Light beam guiding strips are mounted to a top face of the second housing for guiding and projecting light beam emitting from light emitting diodes mounted to a rear face of the second housing. An outer shielding member encompasses both the first and second connector devices.
