Electrical connector with grounding shroud having board-locks for grasping a circuit board

摘要

An electrical connector of the present invention includes a frame, a plurality of contacts received in the frame and a grounding shroud fixed and covering on the frame. The grounding shroud forms a number of board locks downwardly extending beyond a mounting face of the frame. When the electrical connector is positioned on a circuit board, the board locks fixedly engage with the circuit board, thereby preventing relative movement between the electrical connector and the circuit board during soldering of the contacts to the circuit board.
