Abstract
An electrical connector includes an insulative housing, a plurality of contacts retained in the housing, a metallic shell enclosing the housing, and the magnets retained by the shell. The housing includes a pair of longitudinal walls and a pair of end walls commonly forming a mating cavity. The contacts are disposed in the longitudinal walls with corresponding contacting sections exposed in the mating cavity. The shell forms receiving cavities to intimately receive the corresponding magnets, respectively. The magnets are secured to the shell by spot-welding so as to not only assure reliable securement therebetween but also keep the completeness of both the magnet and the shell for superior magnetic and shielding effect thereof.
