Electrical connector assembly

1. An electrical connector assembly comprising:

a printed circuit board (PCB);

a first connector and a first latch mechanism respectively positioned upon the PCB and spaced from each other in a first direction; and

a second connector and a second latch mechanism respectively positioned upon the PCB and spaced from each other in a second direction different from and angled with regard to the first direction;

a first space defined between the first connector and the first latch mechanism and a second space defined between the second connector and the second latch mechanism are overlapped with each other in a vertical direction perpendicular to both said first direction and said second horizontal direction;

wherein a first card is pivotally assembled to and retainably received in the first space by means of both said first connector and first latch mechanism, and a second card is pivotally assembled to and retainably received in the second space by means of both said second connector and the second latch mechanism, under a condition that the first card mechanically and electrically connected to the first connector is located at a first level, and the second card mechanically and electrically connected to the second connector is located at a second level which is lower than the first level.

2. The electrical connector assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first connector is higher than the second connector while the first connector and the second connector are spaced from each other without overlapping in the vertical direction.

3. The electrical connector assembly as claimed in claim 2 , wherein both said first connector and said second connector have a similar configuration and dimension in a top view.

4. The electrical connector assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first connector and the first latch mechanism are respectively located by two sides of the second space.

5. The electrical connector assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein there are side by side two of said first connector and said first latch mechanism defining two of said first space which are roughly equally overlapped with corresponding portions of the second space along the second direction.

6. The electrical connector assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said first direction is angled with regard to the second direction at 90 degrees.

7. The electrical connector assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said second card passes the first level during installation into the second space.

8. An height rise connector assembly comprising:

a printed circuit board (PCB);

an electrical connector and a latch mechanism respectively mounted on the PCB and spaced from each other with a space defined therebetween in a first direction, said latch mechanism defining an inner side facing toward the space and an outer side opposite to the space;

a card pivotally installed into and retainably received in the space by means of said connector and said latch mechanism; wherein

the connector is raised at a level which allows another similar card to be pivotally assembled and retained under said card by another connector and another latch mechanism both of which define another space therebetween in a second direction different from the first horizontal direction, under a condition that said another card is lower than the card, and said another latch mechanism is not located on the outer side but on the inner side;

wherein said another card is angled with the card at a top view.

9. The electrical connector assembly as claimed in claim 8 , wherein said first direction is 90 degrees angled with regard to the second direction.

10. The electrical connector assembly as claimed in claim 8 , wherein said another card passes the level during installation into said another space.

11. An electrical connector assembly adapted for being mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB) comprising:

two first connectors positioned side by side and two corresponding first latch mechanisms positioned side by side, each first connector and the corresponding first latch mechanism respectively positioned upon the PCB and spaced from each other in a first direction; and

a second connector and a second latch mechanism respectively positioned upon the PCB and spaced from each other in a second direction angled with the first direction; wherein

a first space is defined between the first connectors and the corresponding first latch mechanisms,

a second space defined between the second connector and the second latch mechanism and the each first connector and the each corresponding first latch mechanism are respectively located by two sides of the second space; and wherein

first two cards are pivotally assembled to and retainably received in the first space by means of both said two first connectors and first latch mechanisms, and a second card is pivotally assembled to and retainably received in the second space by means of both said second connector and the second latch mechanism, under a condition that the first cards mechanically and electrically connected to the first connectors are located at a first level, and the second card mechanically and electrically connected to the second connector is located at a second level which is lower than the first level.

12. The electrical connector assembly as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the first connector and the second connector are spaced from each other without overlapping in the vertical direction.

13. The electrical connector assembly as claimed in claim 12 , wherein said first connectors and said second connector have a similar configuration and dimension in a top view.
