Electrical connector

摘要

An electrical connector (100) includes an insulative housing (10), a plurality of contacts (20) mounted on the insulative housing, a first metal shell (30), a second metal shell (40), and an insulative member (44). The first metal shell includes a plurality of side walls (31) and a receiving room (32) formed by the side walls. One of the side walls includes a spring beam (310) extending forwardly. The second metal shell (40) is disposed at an outer side of the first metal shell. The second metal shell includes a body portion (41), a supporting beam (42) extending forwardly from the body portion and flanking the spring beam, and a cantilever portion (43) extending from the body portion and offsetting from the supporting beam. The insulative member is attached on the cantilever portion and spaced apart from the spring beam.

主权项

1. An electrical connector adapted for being mounted on an opening defined on a metal shell of an electrical device, comprising:
an insulative housing; a plurality of contacts mounted on the insulative housing; a first metal shell comprising a plurality of side walls and a receiving room formed by the side walls, the insulative housing received in the receiving room, one of the side walls comprising a spring beam extending forwardly; a second metal shell disposed at an outer side of the first metal shell, the second metal shell comprising a body portion, a supporting beam extending forwardly from the body portion and flanking the spring beam, and a cantilever portion extending from the body portion and offsetting with respect to the supporting beam; and an insulative member attached on the cantilever portion and spaced apart from the spring beam to prevent the spring beam from touching the metal shell of the electrical device; wherein there are a pair of spring beams and a pair of supporting beams corresponding to the spring beams; wherein there are a pair of cantilever portions, each cantilever portion and a corresponding supporting beam being separated by punching a metal sheet; wherein there are a plurality of insulative members spaced apart from each other and mounted on the cantilever portions, respectively; wherein the second metal shell and the first metal shell are connected by laser welding or latching; wherein the spring beam comprises a curved portion adjacent to a free end of the spring beam and extending into the receiving room, and a hollow portion formed on an opposite side of the curved portion, a free end of the supporting beam extending into the hollow portion.
