Abstract
A stacked electrical connector assembly and cover arrangement includes a stacked electrical connector assembly that includes a lower electrical connector, and an upper electrical connector disposed over the lower electrical connector in a stacked relationship. Each of the lower electrical connector and the upper electrical connector have at least one lead, with the lead of the upper electrical connector being longer than the lead of the lower electrical connector. A cover is disposed over the leads to protect at least the lead of the upper electrical connector from damage. The cover includes a back wall, and an edge wall that projects outward from the back wall. The back wall and the edge wall collectively define a recess that accommodates at least the lead of the upper electrical connector therein. The edge wall extends only partially around a periphery of the back wall to form an edge opening, so as to allow a portion of the stacked electrical connector assembly to extend out of the recess via the edge opening.
