Board mounted electrical connector

摘要

An electrical connector (1) includes an insulative housing (10), a terminal insert (30) receiving a plurality of terminals (31) therein and a one-piece shield (20) including a first shield portion (21) and a second shield portion (22). A pair of protruding portions (142) outwardly projects from side walls (14) formed on the housing and a groove (144) is defined in one side edge thereof. A pair of support tabs (25), each defining a notch (24), are formed at two opposite sides of the first shield portion, the notches of the shield interlocking with the grooves of the housing to prevent the sides of the shield from springing outwardly and to arrest upward movement of the shield relative to the housing.
