Abstract:
1. An electrical connector assembly comprising: a plurality of auxiliary casings juxtaposed and connected to one another along an assembling direction, each of said auxiliary casing including an auxiliary casing top plate, an auxiliary casing side wall extending downwardly from an auxiliary casing lateral side of said auxiliary casing top plate along a mounting direction transverse to said assembling direction and having a bottom end, at least one fixing pin projecting downward from said bottom end of said side wall along said mounting direction, a positioning bottom plate disposed at a level below said juxtaposed auxiliary casings, and formed with several rows of fixing channel, adjacent pair of said rows being spaced apart from each other by a standard distance, each row of said fixing channels being aligned with said fixing pin of a respective one of said auxiliary casings; and a basic casing including: a basic casing top plate, two basic casing side walls extending respectively and downwardly from two basic casing lateral sides of said basic casing top plate along said mounting direction toward a printed circuit board, and a plurality of basic engaging structures mounted to said basic casing top plate at said basic casing lateral sides thereof; wherein, when said juxtaposed auxiliary casings are brought along said mounting direction to fix securely on said printed circuit board supporting said positioning bottom plate from underneath, said fixing pins of said auxiliary casings respectively extend through said fixing channels in said positioning bottom plate in such a manner that said positioning bottom plate absorbs an accumulated tolerance caused due to a juxtaposed connection among said auxiliary casings along said assembling direction.
