Electrical connector with a pair of improved detecting pins

摘要

An electrical connector includes an insulating housing defining a base portion and a tongue portion extending forwards from a front face of the base portion and a plurality of terminals. The tongue portion defines a recess portion at each of opposite end walls thereof. Each defines a solder portion extending towards a bottom face of the base portion and a contacting portion located on the tongue portion. A pair of detecting pins are located in recess portions and each comprises a leg portion extending out the base portion and an arc section projecting out beyond the end wall of the tongue portion to be touched by a sidewall of a shielding shell of the counter connector when the electrical connector is inserted by the counter connector.
