Electrical connector assembly

摘要

An electrical connector assembly (10) includes at least one connector (12) and a shell (14) surrounding the connector. A number of locking tabs (24) extend vertically beyond a joint face (23) of the connector. Each locking tab defines an aperture (242) and a block (243) at a free end thereof. The aperture separates the free end of the locking tab into two spaced portions. The block protrudes outwardly from an outside of one of the two spaced portions. An opening (232) under the block is defined in the joint face for facilitating the molding of the block. The shell defines a number of securing holes (411) engagingly receiving the corresponding locking tabs of the connector. The block can press an outside of the shell to retain the locking tab in the hole. Reliable connection between the connector and the shell is secured.
