Assembly of electric connectors

摘要

An electric connector assembly has an upper connector (1) stacked on a lower connector (2) and having an insulated housing (4), whose opposite side-walls extend downwards to form pairs of elongate legs (5). An insulated housing (20) of the lower connector (2) also has opposite side-walls extending down to form a pair of stubby legs (21) shorter than the elongate legs (5). The lower connector (2) is detachably secured in between the elongate legs (5) so as to be nested in the upper connector (1), in such a manner that either of the upper and lower connectors (1,2) can be separated from the other so as to be used alone, although any additional supporting parts or the like is not required to stack the upper connector on the lower connector.
