Electrical connector

摘要

An electrical connector (1) mates with a complementary connector for transmitting signals. The electrical connector includes a metallic shell (10), a conductive contact (12) and an insulative housing (11) sandwiched between the shell and the conductive contact for retaining the conductive contact. The metallic shell includes a mating portion (101) and a base portion (102) extending from the base portion. A projection (103) integrally protrudes outwardly from the mating portion adjacent to the base portion for engaging with the complementary connector. The mating portion includes a plurality of slits (106) defined therethrough.
