Electrical connector securely mounted on a printed circuit board

摘要

An electrical connector for mounting on a printed circuit board (5) includes an insulating housing (1) with a number of cavities (17) therein, a shield (2) for enclosing the housing, a number of contacts (3) received in the housing, and a pair of bolts (4) for firmly connecting the shield and the housing. A pair of boardlocks (26) and a soldering pad (24) are formed in a bottom of the shield to secure the connector on the printed circuit board. The housing has a front mating face (11) and a bottom surface (12). A pair of resisting pads (14) each includes a retentive portion (141) for securing to the printed circuit board and a vertical portion (142) secured in a recess (19) defined in the bottom surface of the housing.
