An electrical connector includes: an insulating housing defining a mounting face for being mounted on a PCB and a pair of engaging portions at two opposite ends of the insulating housing; a number of contacts retained in the insulating housing; a metal shell assembled on the insulating housing along an assembly direction slanting to the mounting face, the metal shell having a locking portion with a gap through which the engaging portion is inserted in the locking portion and a stopper portion. The stopper portion exceeds the mounting face when the metal shell assembled on the insulating housing along the assembly direction before the electrical connector is mounted on the PCB, while the stopper portion is pressed by the PCB to offset the assembly direction when the electrical connector is mounted on the PCB so as to prevent the engaging portion from deflecting from the locking portion through the gap.

Electrical connector with a rotating metal shell

An electrical connector includes an insulative housing (), a plurality of terminals () retained in the housing and a slider () moveably assembled to the housing. The terminal () has a first arm () and a second arm () both protruding into a mating room () defined by the insulative housing. The slider defines an urging portion () for driving a flexible printed circuit board engaging with the terminals when the slider moving to a closed position from an opened position. The urging portion has a first contacting surface () and a second contacting surface () at same side thereof. The first contacting surface is located closer to the first arm than the second contacting surface at a vertical direction. The second arm is located below the first contacting surface at said opened position and engaging with the second contacting surface at said closed position.

Flexible printed circuit connector and slider

An electrical connector comprises a longitudinal insulating housing defining a plurality of grooves and a plurality of contacts received in the groove. Each contact has a contacting arm, a retaining portion retained into the insulating housing and a soldering portion. The contacts comprises a plurality of signal contacts and grounding contacts, at least one signal contacts defining a signal group and at least one grounding contact defining a grounding group, each signal group and each grounding group are alternately arranged.

Electrical connector

An electric connector () includes an insulative housing () having front and rear walls (), a terminal passageway () defined between said front and rear walls and having top and bottom walls (), and a conductive terminal () assembled to the insulative housing to be retained in the terminal passageway and having a base wall () and a pair of spring arms () extending from the base wall and adapted for mating with said pin terminal. The pair of spring arms face to each other and define between the pair of spring arms a space () adapted for receiving the pin terminal. Each spring arm has a free end. A protrusion () is integrally formed with the top wall of the terminal passageway and extends into the terminal passageway, and is located between said free ends of the pair of spring arms to prevent unnecessary shake of the free ends of the spring arms.
