mother printed circuit board of an electrical device.
An electrical connector assembly in accordance with the present invention is mounted on a mother printed circuit board (PCB) of an electrical device. The electrical connector comprises an insulative main housing, a contact module, a daughter PCB and a shield. The main housing comprises opposite front and rear walls, and opposite sidewalls substantially perpendicular to the rear wall. The main housing defines a cavity for receiving the contact module. The contact module comprises a compensation PCB and a plurality of conductive terminals soldered on the compensation PCB. The daughter PCB is parallel to the rear wall of the main housing. The daughter PCB is electrically connected to the conductive terminals of the contact module. A pair of contact pads formed onopposite faces of the daughter PCB. The shield defines a chamber for shielding the main housing and the daughter PCB therein. The shield comprises two pairs of projecting contacting legs. The contacting legs clamp the daughter PCB and electrically connecting with corresponding contact pads of the daughter PCB. The shield also comprises a plurality of mounting legs soldered to ground traces on the mother PCB of the electrical device. A continuous ground connection is thus established between the daughter PCB and the mother PCB of the electrical device.
