Electrical connector

摘要

An electrical connector is fixed to a panel (7) of a notebook computer includes an insulative housing (1) forming two mating sections (12), a plurality of contacts (2) retained in the housing (1), a metal pad (5) and a shielding device. The housing (1) includes a protrusion (13) which has a front face (131) defining a locating hole therein. The shielding device includes two front shells (3) surrounding the mating sections (12) and a rear shell (4). Tabs (32a) extend from the front shells (3) and each defines a hole (32b) therein. The metal pad (5) is mounted to the protrusion, including a body section (52) retained in the locating hole (13a) of the housing (1) and defining an inner-threaded hole (53). A bolt (8) extends through a through hole (71) defined in the panel (7) and the holes (32b) of the front shells (3) in sequence and then engages the inner-threaded hole (53) of the pad (5) for securing the connector to the panel (7).
