An electrical connector ( ) has an insulative housing ( ), a plurality of terminals ( ) received in the housing and a metal shield ( ). The housing has a body portion ( ) and two side portions ( ) formed respectively on lateral sides of the body portion. Each side portion has a passage ( ) extending therethrough and a notch ( ) in communication with the passage. The shield has two retentive tabs ( ) respectively projecting through corresponding passages with free ends thereof received in corresponding notches of the housing. The terminals have vertical contacting sections ( ), vertical connecting sections ( ), horizontal retention sections ( ) connecting the contacting sections with the connecting sections, and soldering sections ( ) extending horizontally from the connecting sections.

Electrical connector with reliably assembled shield and housing

An electronic card connector ( ) for electrically connecting an electronic card to a printed circuit board (PCB) includes a dielectric housing ( ) including a bottom wall ( ), a contact module ( ) having a dielectric base ( ) receiving a plurality of conductive contacts ( ) and a pair of eaves ( ) protruding laterally from two opposite sides of the base. A through opening ( ) is defined in the bottom wall and a pair of holding steps ( ) protrude inwardly from two opposite sides of the opening. The contact module is embedded in the opening of the housing, the two eaves respectively supported on the pair of holding steps and the base falling into the opening.

Electronic card connector having improved assembly

An electrical connector ( ) adapted to mate with a complementary connector ( ) which has a tongue portion ( ) with a plurality of conductive terminals ( ) disposed thereon, includes an insulative housing ( ) having a mating portion ( ) protruding forwardly therefrom and a receiving cavity ( ) defined therethrough, and a plurality of conductive contacts ( ) received in the cavity of the housing. An upper wall ( ) and a lower wall ( ) form the mating portion, with the receiving cavity being defined therebetween. The contacts are positioned on the lower wall. A pair of engaging bars ( ) protrudes from the upper wall into the receiving cavity. When the mating portion mates with the tongue portion, the engaging bars downwardly push the tongue portion to ensure a reliable connection between the conductive terminals and corresponding contacts.
