Abstract

A stacked electrical connector (100) has a mounting face to be mounted on a printed circuit board (80). The stacked electrical connector (100) comprises an insulating housing (20) defining a mating port (220) for mating with a mating plug and a cavity (222) below the mating port (220) in a front face (22), and a stacked USB 3.0 connector (40) received in the cavity (222) of the insulating housing (20). The stacked USB 3.0 connector (40) has two stacked mating ports (425, 427) aligned with the mating port (220) of the insulating housing (20) along the front face (22). The cavity (222) extends rearwardly from the front face (22) a front-to-back length (L) equaling a corresponding length of a stacked USB 2.0 connector.
