The U-shaped portion is retained in the insulative body and partly exposing out of the insulative body. The contacting portion is suspended upon the slider. The slider moves in the inner space from a front, original position to a back, final position, presses against the U-shaped portions and pulls the slantwise linear portions downwardly. Finally, the contacting portions enter into the inner space for engaging with a mating plug connector.

Electrical receptacle connector

An electrical connector assembly () comprises: a first insulative housing having a base portion () and a mating portion (), and a second insulative housing () located on the base portion. The second insulative housing defines a body portion () and a tongue portion (). A number of contacts () are formed in the first and second insulative housings. Each of the contact defines a first mating section () and a second mating section (), and a curved connecting section connected with the first and second mating sections. A first metallic shell () encloses and engages with the first insulative housing. A second metallic shell () encloses the second insulative housing and engages with the first insulative housing. And, a metallic connecting piece () respectively connects with the first and second metallic shells.

Electrical connector and method of assembling the same

A electrical connector () includes an insulative housing () defining a plurality of contact slots () extending along a longitudinal direction, a plurality of cantilevered arms () extending into the contact slots, respectively, and a transversal groove () located in front of the cantilevered arms and communicating with the contact slots; a plurality of contacts () received in the contact slots, respectively, each contact having a retention portion (), a mating portion () extending forwardly from the retention portion, a tail portion () extending backwardly from the retention portion and a connecting portion () connected to the mating portion, and a positioning portion (') integrally formed with the retention portion and extending into the transversal groove.

Electrical connector

An electrical connector includes a base portion defining a receiving cavity, a tongue plate portion retained in the receiving cavity and a first set of contacts retained in the tongue plate portion. The tongue plate portion defines a mating portion projecting out of the at least one receiving cavity for mating with a plug connector and receiving grooves thereon. The first set of contacts includes four first contacts each defining a retaining portion received in a corresponding receiving groove and retained in the receiving cavity, a contacting portion extending forwards from a front end of the retaining portion and a mounting portion. The retaining portion defines a pair of wings bending upwards from two side edges thereof and projecting out of the receiving groove, and the base portion defines corresponding pressing portions projecting to and pressing the wings.

Electrical connector having robust interengagement arranged between contacts and housing

An electrical connector for connecting an FPC includes an insulating housing having a receiving space, a plurality of contacts received in the insulating housing and an actuator retained on two ends of said insulating housing. Each contact includes a pivot arm engaging with said actuator and frontwardly extending into said receiving space. Said pivot arm defines a first engaging notch and a protrusion on a bottom edge thereof. The actuator has a rotatable cam portion rotatablely engaged with said first engaging notch. Said protrusion is formed on a frontal tip end of said pivot arm and extends much lower than said rotatable cam portion in a vertical direction, which prevents the FPC from contacting with said rotatable portion firstly during the process of the insertion.

An electrical connector () includes an insulative housing () with a base portion (), a first engaging portion () and a second engaging portion () extending from the base portion along same direction, a plurality of conductive terminals () retained in the insulative housing () and a shielding member () assembled on the housing. The shielding member () has a pair of sidewalls () opposite to each other and a pair of end walls () surrounding the first engaging portion () thereby forming a mating cavity between thereof. One of the end walls () is served as a partition located between the first engaging portion () and the second engaging portion () which extends outwards through the shielding member () then nearly presses against the shielding member.

Electrical connector having two engaging portions
