Abstract
An electrical connector includes an insulative housing, a lower mating contact module, and an upper mating contact module. The insulative housing has a lower receiving cavity, an upper receiving cavity, and an intermediate wall located therebetween. The lower mating contact module has a lower insulating carrier and a set of lower mating contacts secured to the lower insulating carrier. The upper mating contact module has an upper insulating carrier and a set of upper mating contacts secured to the upper insulating carrier. The intermediate wall defines a lower passageway extending along a front-to-back direction and an upper passageway disposed above the lower passageway. The lower insulating carrier has a lower fixing arm inserted and fixed in the lower passageway, and the upper insulating carrier has an upper fixing arm inserted and fixing in the upper passageway.
