Abstract:
1. An electrical connector assembly adapted to be mounted on a main circuit board, comprising: an insulative housing defining a universal serial bus (USB) plug-receiving cavity and a modular plug-receiving cavity-stacked beneath the USB plug-receiving cavity; an array of conductive USB terminals having USB contacting portions exposed in the USB plug-receiving cavity; an array of conductive modular terminals having modular contacting portions disposed in the modular plug-receiving cavity; a metal outer shell substantially surrounding the insulative housing; an internal circuit board and a magnetic module electrically connecting with the modular terminals via the internal circuit board; and a grounding contact fixed in the insulative base and electrically connecting with the internal circuit board; wherein the internal circuit board has a plurality of signal conditioning components mounted thereon for reducing or eliminating noise; wherein the magnetic module includes an insulative base, a plurality of upper contacts arranged on an upper portion of the base for electrically connecting with the internal circuit board, a plurality of lower contacts adapted for connecting with the main circuit board, and a plurality of magnetic coils interconnecting the upper and lower contact; and wherein the grounding contact includes a horizontal beam fixed in the insulative base, a first vertical beam extending upwardly from one end of the horizontal beam to connect with the internal circuit board, and a second vertical beam extending downwardly from the other end of the horizontal beam to connect with the main circuit board.
