Electrical connector

摘要

An electrical connector includes an insulative housing having front and rear faces and top and bottom faces connecting the front and rear faces. A front shielding member includes a base plate attached to the front face of the housing and has a top flange partly overlapping the top face of the housing and covering recesses defined in the top face of the housing. The top face defines recesses exposed to the rear face thereby forming channels between the housing and the top flange. A rear conductive cover is attached to the rear face. The rear cover forms a plurality of lugs having U-shaped free ends forcibly fit into and resiliently engaging the top flange thereby fixing the rear cover in position and establishing electrical connection therebetween.
