Abstract
An electrical connector assembly includes a substantially cuboidal main dielectric housing having a first partition dividing an inner space thereof into an upper space and a lower space. An RJ45 modular jack is mounted in the first space which has a top wall abutting against a top wall of the main housing and defining two recesses. Two LEDs for indicating the connecting condition of the RJ45 connector with a mating connector are received in the recesses. A second type connector consisting of two USB connector units is mounted to the second lower space. A second partition continues from the first partition to define a third space between the second space and a rear side of the main housing. A rear part of the second type connector abuts the second partition. A transformer for filtering noise received by the RJ45 modular jack is received in the third space and soldered between contact portions and tail portions of contacts of the RJ45 modular jack. A housing of the second type connector defines a groove in a front face thereof which fittingly receives a beams formed at a lower part of a front side of the main housing.
