Electrical connector assembly having retention structure

摘要

An electrical connector (100) includes an insulated housing (1) having a top wall, a bottom wall, a rear wall and a pair of side walls interconnecting with the top wall, the bottom wall and the rear wall to corporately define a receiving passage (15) along horizontal direction; a plurality of terminals (2) separated into two distinct sets along vertical direction and received in the insulated housing (1); a pair of retaining members (4) assembled to the pair of side walls of the insulated housing to retain the insulated housing on the circuit substrate (5); a metal shell (3) having a plurality of walls cooperatively defining a hollow to receive the insulated housing. The retaining members are at least partially enclosed within the hollow of the metal shell.
