An electrical connector mountable at an opening in a panel comprises a dielectric housing with terminals received therein, a shield enclosing the housing, a cable terminated to the terminals, and an insulative casing molded to engage with a rear end portion of the housing and a front end of the cable. A first latch is formed on each side wall of the shield for engaging with a corresponding second latch formed by the panel on each side edge of the opening. A top wall of the shield is accommodated in an upper slot defined between the housing and the casing and is spaced from an upper surface of the housing. A lower slot is also defined between the casing and the housing for receiving a support plate provided by the panel on a bottom edge of the opening thereby securely retaining the connector in position relative to the panel. The casing is made from resilient material and has a push portion at a top, front end thereof. The push portion is depressed against the top wall of the shield to unlatch the first latches of the shield from the second latches of the panel.
