An electrical connector () includes an insulative housing () having a frame portion () and a tongue portion () extending forwardly from the frame portion (), a number of terminals () retained in the tongue portion (), and a metal shell (). The frame portion () includes a top wall (), a pair of side walls (), a rear wall () and a bottom wall (). The metal shell () includes a top board (), a pair of side boards (), a bottom board () and a window () defined in a rear end. The insulative housing is insert-molded with the metal shell and the terminals so that the rear wall seals up the window.

Waterproof electrical connector

An electrical connector, for mating with a mating plug, includes an insulative housing (), a number of contacts () received in the insulative housing (), a shell () mounted to the insulative housing () and an elastic element () mounted to the receiving space (). The insulative housing includes a top wall (), a lower wall (), two side walls () and a receiving space surrounded by the top wall, the lower wall and the two side walls. The shell () comprises a pair of elastic arms (). The elastic element () resists against the elastic arm () upon inserting a mating plug to move the pair of least arms outward.
