Abstract
A connector (11) which is of a duplex type, having an insulative housing (12) enclosed by two shells (40, 46) except its bottom face. The housing (12) includes the upper section and the lower section each defining a cavity (14, 16) with a plate (18) horizontally extending therein. Each sections includes therein a plurality of contacts (90) projecting into the corresponding cavity (14, 16). The housing (12) includes plural recesses (76, 78, 80) extending rearward around each cavity (14, 16) for snugly receiving a corresponding number of tangs (56, 64, 70) which project in a backward folded manner from the front edges around the corresponding opening (52, 54) in the front shell (40). Some of such tangs (56, 64, 70) include embossments (84) or kinks (86) thereon for functions as retention means (70) and/or grounding means (56). A pair of spring grounding tangs (47) forward projecting out of the mating face (20) of the connector (11). The front shell (40) includes fastening means (41) to secure to the housing (12) and the rear shell (46) has locking means (55) to be securely fixed to the front shell (40), and thus the housing (12), the front shell (40) and the rear shell (46) form an assembled unit (11).
