ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR WITH FASTENING MEMBER FASTENED TO POWER CONTACT

摘要

An electrical connector (100) includes an insulative housing (10), a number of first contacts (21) and second contacts (22) retained in the insulative housing and a metallic shell (40) enclosing the insulative housing. Each first contact (21) includes a resilient first contacting portion (212) and each second contact (22) includes a flat second contacting portion (222) located at a front of the resilient first contacting portions. The metallic shell includes a number of peripheral walls jointly forming a receiving cavity (410) for receiving a mateable connector. At least one of the peripheral walls includes a heat dissipation slot (431) in communication with the receiving cavity (410) and a heat dissipation piece (47) attached to the heat dissipation slot (431) so that heat generated from the first contacts (21) and the second contacts (22) can be immediately emitted by the heat dissipation piece (47).
