A shell (30) included in an electrical connector has a top wall (40) having a first front end (40a), a bottom wall (42) having a second front end (42a1, 42b1), and side walls (44) having third front ends (44a), respectively. The first to the third front ends (40a, 42a1, 42b1, 44a) constitutes a front edge (31) of the shell (30), the front edge (31) defining an opening for receiving another shell of a mating connector inserted along an insertion direction into the shell (30). From the front edge (31), a pair of front mounting posts (33) continues rearwardly in the insertion direction and extends downwardly in a vertical direction below the bottom wall (42). Adjacent to a rear end (32) opposite to the front edge (31), a pair of rear mounting posts (34) is provided. Each of the rear mounting posts (34) is spaced from the corresponding front mounting post (33) in the insertion direction and extends downwardly in the vertical direction below a plane on which the bottom wall (42) is laid. <IMAGE> |
