Stacked modular jack assembly having highly modularized electronic components

摘要

An electrical connector assembly (1) includes an electrical subassembly (3) and an insulating housing (2) encasing the electrical subassembly. The electrical subassembly includes first and second printed circuit boards (320, 340) each having a number of contacts (322, 342) soldered thereon, a pair of magnetic modules (300, 300') respectively electrically connecting with the corresponding contacts, and a metal plate (4) sandwiched between the magnetic modules. The magnetic modules are joined together by the metal plate before they are soldered to the first and second printed circuit boards.
