  • Patent number: 7744413
    Abstract: An electrical connector for interconnecting a camera module with a printed circuit board comprises a metal housing including a base wall and side walls extending upwardly from the edge of the base wall. Wherein one of the base wall and the side walls defines a grounding spring extending from the outer surface thereof to ourside. Therefore, when the electrical connector is assembled into a chamber formed on the mobile phone for accommodating the electrical connector, the grounding spring can be compressed between the housing and the inner wall of the chamber, thus, the electricity from the camera module can be transmitted to the mobile phone via the grounding spring and the electrical connector is not interfered by the other electric equipment.
