Abstract
A stacked connector assembly includes an RJ connector and two stacked USB connectors stacked on the RJ connector. The RJ connector has a first housing. The USB connectors have a common second housing. A tenon-mortise joint is formed between the first and second housings to secure the housings together. An outer shield encloses both the RJ connector and the USB connectors. Each USB connector has an inner shielding member received in a receiving chamber thereof. The outer shield has two side walls extending through slots defined in the USB connectors in communication with the receiving chambers thereof for engaging with the inner shielding members.
