ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR HAVING A STRUCTURE FOR AVOIDING HIGH VOLTAGE CONDUCTION

摘要

An electrical connector includes an insulative housing, a printed circuit board, a set of mating contacts, and a shielding shell. The insulative housing defines a mating port for insertion of a plug connector and a mounting port for installing the printed circuit board. The insulative housing includes a lower wall for mounting to an exterior substrate and an upper wall. The printed circuit board is disposed behind the upper wall. The set of mating contacts each has a contact portion exposed to the mating port and a first connection portion connected to the printed circuit board. The shielding shell has a top wall surrounding the upper wall of the insulative housing. The top wall of the shielding has a cutout or a protrusion located above the first connecting portions for avoiding the first connecting portions electrically conducting to the top wall.
