Abstract
An electrical connector has a main unit with and integral row of parallel connector pins. A first end of each connector pin is at a front of main unit and a second end is at a rear of main unit. Each parallel connector pin is bent downward toward the back so that they project downward from the bottom surface of main unit. A socket shield made from a thin plate surrounds the upper and lower surfaces and the two side surfaces of main unit. A pair of substrate fixing claws project downward from the sides of the lower surface at the rear of main unit. The socket shield also has an engagement piece projecting downward from the front region of the lower surface. The pair of substrate fixing claws and the engagement piece both engage the mounting substrate when the electrical connector is mounted on the mounting substrate.
