A connector assembly (1) mounted on a printed circuit board for mating with the network cable includes a housing (12) configured to two mating ports (10) to receive their complementary connector. A conditioning unit (2) is mounted into the housing (12) to be disposed between the mating ports (10), and includes a circuit board (21) having conditioning components (22) and two terminal modules (23, 24) surface mounted thereon. Each of the terminal modules (23, 24) has terminals (25) insert-molded therein and is mounted on a different side of the circuit board (21) from each other. A flexible latch (18) is formed on the middle portion of a sidewall of the housing (12) and a notch (28) is formed at one edge of the circuit board (21) to be engaged with the latch (18) to fix the conditioning unit (2) in position. Thus, the conditional unit (2) is easily secured to the housing and the latch (18) is easily detached from the notch (28) by a tool.
