Abstract

An electrical connector assembly (100) mounted on a printed circuit board includes an insulative housing (1) defining an upper space (10) and a lower space (11), a contact module (2) received in the upper space, a stacked USB (3) received in the lower space, a daughter circuit board (5) and a transform module (6). The contact module includes a plurality of conductive terminals (22) for soldering to the daughter circuit board. The stacked USB includes a dielectric body (31) and a metal frame for shielding the body. The metal frame includes a grounding finger (33) for electrically connecting the daughter circuit board, thereby forming an electrical connection between the electrical connector assembly and the printed circuit board.
