An electrical connector (1) includes an insulating housing (10), a number of terminals (20) received in the housing, and a metallic shell (30) covering the housing. The metallic shell integrally forms a body section (31) and a retention section (32). The body section defines a semi-cavity (312) for receiving a complementary mating connector and has a pair of tabs (313) respectively stamped from two side panels (311) thereof. The tabs are retained in corresponding slots (120) defined in the housing to secure the housing and the shell. The retention section includes two retention portions (320) extending therefrom, each retention portion being press--fitted in corresponding recess defined in the housing so that the housing and the retention portion is substantially connected. The metallic shell also has a number of mounting pads (33) formed to be soldered on a printed circuit board on which the connector is mounted.
