Abstract
An electrical connector includes a housing having a bottom and a wall bounding an opening adjacent the bottom, and a shell configured to encircle an outer surface of the wall. The shell may include: first shell corners configured to conform with first housing corners of the housing, second shell corners configured to be spaced apart from second housing corners of the housing in a first direction, a plurality of first portions configured to conform with the outer surface of the wall, and a plurality of second portions configured to be spaced apart from the outer surface of the wall. The first and second shell corners have a height greater than a maximum height of the housing. Such a connector may be miniaturized, yet provide for robust operation and resist unintentional demating as a result of twisting forces on a plug inserted into the connector.
