Electrical connector having improved shielding

摘要

An electrical connector for mounting to a printed circuit board (PCB) includes a dielectric housing (3) having a mating portion (31) and a mounting portion (32), a plurality of terminals (4) received in the housing, and a shell (2) shielding the housing including a first shielding (21) surrounding the mating portion and a second shielding (22) engaging with the mounting portion. The second shielding is electrical connected with the first shielding and has an elongated shielding plate (221) attached to a front surface of the mounting portion and a pair of holding legs extending from two ends of the shielding plates, the holding legs (22a) respectively attaching to two side surfaces of the mounting portion and extending downwardly.
