Electrical connector having strengthened members

摘要

An electrical connector includes an insulative housing ( 1 ), a plurality of terminals ( 2 ) retained in the insulative housing, a shell ( 3 ) and a pair of strengthened members ( 4 ). The insulative housing comprises a base portion ( 10 ) and a terminal supporting portion ( 12 ) extending forwardly from the base portion. Each terminal has a contact portion ( 20 ) extending along the terminal supporting portion. The shell is attached to the insulative housing and has a mating frame ( 31 ) surrounding the contact portions and the terminal supporting portion to define a mating cavity therebetween. Strengthened members are buried at opposite ends of the terminal supporting portion.
