Electrical connector having a holddown for ground connection

摘要

An electrical connector comprises an insulator to be mounted to a substrate, a conductive cover member coupled to the insulator, and a conductive holddown held by the insulator to connect the cover member and a ground conductor portion formed on the substrate. The cover member has first and second cover contacting portions. The holddown has a holddown contacting portion extending to face an outer surface of a side wall portion of the insulator. The holddown contacting portion is clamped between the first and the second cover contacting portions in a direction along the outer surface of the side wall portion.
