Input/output connector having firmly assembled insulative housing and shell

摘要

An input/output connector (1) has an insulative housing (10), a plurality of conductive contacts (20) retained in the insulative housing for surface mounting to a printed circuit board and a shell (30). The insulative housing has a hole (130) extending in a front-to-back direction and a recess (131) communicating with the hole. The shell includes a top plate (31), a bottom plate (32) and a pair of side plates (33) connecting the bottom plate and the top plate. The bottom plate has a pair of cantilevers (320) extending perpendicularly and rearwardly to be inserted into the hole of the insulative housing and then be bent to be received in the recess of the insulative housing for preventing the shell from bulging downwardly.
