CONNECTOR HAVING SOLDERING LEGS ARRAY AND METHOD FOR MAKING THE SAME

摘要

An electrical connector comprising an insulative housing, a plurality of terminals retained in the insulative housing, and a metal package enclosing the insulative housing, said metal package comprising a first metallic shell and a second metallic shell covering the first metallic shell, said first metallic shell having an upper wall, a bottom wall and a pair of side walls, said second metallic shell having a top board, a floor board and a pair of side boards. Said second metallic shell is formed with a plurality of first soldering legs extending downwardly from a back-end of the top board, second soldering legs extending outwardly from the side boards, and said first metallic shell is formed with a plurality of fixed legs extending outwardly from a rear-end of the side walls; wherein said fixed legs are located between the first soldering legs and the second soldering legs along a front-to-back direction.
