Abstract: An electrical connector (1) having an insulating housing (3), and contacts (7) in the same row being of identical mass in respective contact receiving cavities (8), one of the contact receiving cavities (8) contains one of the contacts (7) that is shortened by a bend (24), and has its front end farther from a mating end (2) of the housing (3) than another of the contacts (7) in another of the contact receiving cavities (8).

Abstract: A one-piece conductive connector shell (1) for use in an electrical connector comprises a substantially planar flange (5) that is peripherally disposed about an annular, D-shaped projection (10). The annular D-shaped projection (10) extends out of the plane defined by the flange (5). Two fastening wings (15) are laterally disposed on the flange (15) in spaced-apart relation to one another. Each of the two fastening wings (15) comprise a pair of upper latching tabs (30) and a pair of lower grounding tabs (40). The upper latching tabs (30) and the lower grounding tabs (40) are adapted to be fixedly assembled to an insulating connector housing (100). The pair of lower grounding tabs (40) are further adapted to electrically and mechanically connect the one-piece conductive connector shell (1) to a printed circuit board. A pair of jackscrew mounting apertures (60) are disposed on each fastening wing (15), between the upper latching tabs (30) and the lower grounding tabs (40).
