Abstract: An electrical connector (1) includes a housing (2), a number of contacts (3) received in the housing, and a shell (4) retained to the housing. The housing includes a main body (21), a first and a second tongues (22, 24) extending forwardly from the main body, and a mounting portion (23) extending rearwardly form the main body. The first and the second tongues define a number of passageways extending rearwardly throughout the main body. The mounting portion has a first and a second faces (2311,2312) on a first side (231), a third and a fourth faces (2321, 2322) on a second side (232), and a number of channels on the first, the second, the third and the fourth faces and communicating with the passageways. The second and the fourth faces are behind and offset from the first face and the third faces respectively.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes a first electrical connector (10) having first contacts (13) provided therein and a second electrical connector (2) having second contacts provided therein. The first connector includes a metal cover (10) defining a locking hole (11) therein. The second connector has a metal shell (4) shielding the second connector. The shell includes a resilient spring arm (421) integrally attached thereto. The arm has a cam (422) raised inwardly therefrom and retainably received in the locking hole of the first connector.

Abstract: A cable end connector (1) for assembling with a cable comprises a dielectric housing (10) secured a plurality of terminals (20) therewithin, an upper and a lower shells (40, 50) enclosing the housing, and an upper and a lower covers (60, 70) enclosing the upper and lower shells. The housing includes a main body (100) and a tongue portion (101) projecting forwardly from the main body. The upper shell has an upper projecting lip (401) abutting against an upper surface of the tongue. The lower shell has a lower projecting lip (501) abutting against a lower surface of the tongue portion. The upper and lower projecting lips respectively has a pair of upper and lower engaging portions (409, 509) disposed on opposite side edges thereof. The upper and lower engaging portions abut against opposite side surfaces of the tongue portion, and engage with each other at same time.
