Abstract
An electrical connector having an insulative housing including a connection end, an opposite end, two side walls, a bottom plate, two protection shoulders extended from bottom plate toward the opposite end, and a recess confined by protection shoulders; a metal shell wrapping around the insulative housing and including two side walls, a top plate, a connection cavity, and a coplanar engaged bottom piece in the recess; and a terminal assembly including a plurality of terminals received in a cavity of the insulative housing. This construction can enhance a structural strength of connection cavity and prolong a useful life. Also, it is possible to effectively prevent melted solder from flowing into the connector during soldering, thereby maintaining good electrical characteristics of the connector.
