  • Patent number: 10553981
    Abstract: An electrical connector including an insulative housing having an elongated base and a pair of end sections each with opposite top and bottom surfaces, opposite front and rear surfaces. The shell includes a base plate covering the top surface at two opposite end sections of the base. Each end sections further includes a receiving cavity for receiving the retaining piece, and a slit communicatively beside the receiving cavity. The shell includes a pair of fixing tabs located at two opposite ends and respectively extending into the slits so as to interfere with the corresponding fastening nut for reliably positioning the fastening nut in the receiving cavity and being adapted to absorb the forces applied upon the fastening nut.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10396502
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes an insulative housing and a metallic shield attached thereupon. The housing forms a mating cavity recessed rearwardly and inwardly from a front face of the housing with a mating tongue extending therein. A plurality of contacts are disposed in the housing with corresponding contacting sections exposed upon the mating tongue facing toward the mating cavity. The metallic shield includes a front plate covering the front face of the housing with an opening aligned with the mating cavity, and an extension inwardly extending from an inner peripheral edge of the front plate around the opening, into the mating cavity and opposite to the mating tongue in the vertical direction.

  • Patent number: 10148029
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes an insulative housing, a plurality of terminals retained in the housing. The housing includes a base and a mating tongue extending forwardly from the base. The mating tongue forms opposite mating surfaces extending forwardly and vertically converging toward each other. The terminal includes a front contacting section, a middle retaining section rearwardly extending from the front contacting section, and a rear soldering section extending rearwardly from the middle retaining section. The front contacting section has two contacting faces respectively exposed upon the opposite mating surfaces of the mating tongue. Each terminal is made via stamping sheet metal and extends in a plane with a through hole in the front contacting section.
