Electrical connector with shell interferentially engaged with portion of the connector

摘要

An electrical connector (1) is adapted for mounting to a circuit substrate having a metallic shell (2) assembled onto an insulated housing (3). The metallic shell (2) has a base portion with two side-walls (23) and a pair of arms (24) extending from the side-walls (23). Some interferential tabs (243) are introverted on both of the arms (24) and corresponding slots (311) are formed on the insulated housing (3). When assembling, the interferential tabs (243) are engaged with corresponding slots (311) to firmly fit the metallic shell (2) and insulated housing (3) together.
