Patent ID: 8568161

Claim:
An electrical connector assembly comprising: a first connector including a terminal confining plate for confining plurality of terminals therethrough, each of said terminals having a contact section, a distributing section and an intermediate section interconnecting said contact and distributing sections; a second connector; and an adapter module including an assembler member for assembling said first and second connectors together in order to form the electrical connector assembly, and a one-piece terminal fixing member for disposing within said assembler member and for coupling to said terminal confining plate installed within said first connector, said fixing member having first and second rows of terminal holes spaced apart from each other in a parallel manner, wherein said intermediate sections of said terminals are embedded within said first and second rows of terminal holes via insert molding process such that said contact and distributing sections of said terminals extend outward from two opposite sides of said terminal fixing member; wherein, during assembly insertion of said contact sections of said terminals into said first connector is facilitated owing to uniform alignment of said contact sections of said terminals and after which an assembly of said first connector and said terminal fixing member is coupled to said assembler member from an upper side, thereby forming an upper plug chamber for mating with a first foreigner connector while said second connector is coupled to said assembler member from a lower side thereof such that said terminals extend through said second connector, thereby forming a lower plug chamber for exposing two rows of said distributing sections of said terminals from said second connector for mating with a second foreigner connector.
