Understandably, the layout of the upper front terminals 718 and the upper rear terminals 724, and the lower front terminals 738 and the lower rear terminals 744 are arranged same with those in the first embodiment. The posts-holes structure may be applied to the insulators and shielding plate so as to have the shielding plate retained between the stacked insulator without relative movement both vertically and horizontally. Similar to the first embodiment, in this embodiment the terminals of the same part/piece of the module is equipped with an insulative spacer 760 to secure the tails of the terminals in position without relative movements, and two opposite ends of the spacer 760 is retained in the corresponding slots 703 in an interior surfaces of the housing 702.
