Electrical connector assembly

摘要

An electrical connector assembly (1) includes an insulative housing (10) defining a plurality of terminal receiving channels (118, 123) therein. A plurality of terminals (30, 31) is respectively secured within the terminal receiving channels of the insulative housing. A shield (20) generally encloses the insulative housing. A locking device (220) is formed on each of two opposite side faces of the shield, each locking device including a pair of first locking legs (27) and a pair of second locking legs (28). The first locking legs and the second locking legs are arranged in opposite sequence on the two opposite side faces of the shield. The first locking legs and the second locking legs each form a protrusion (227 or 228) projecting outwardly, each protrusion of the first legs being spaced a first distance below a lower side face of the shield and each protrusion of the second legs being spaced a second distance below the lower side face of the shield, the second distance being larger than the first distance.
