Abstract
An electrical connector having a shielding shell. The shielding shell disposed about an insulating housing mounted on a circuit board. The shielding shell including a first shell and a second shell. The first shell having a first side wall. The first side wall having a first locking member. The second shell having a second side wall. The second side wall having a second locking member corresponding to the first locking member. When the second locking member engages the first locking member the first side wall overlaps with the second side wall to prevent movement of the second shell in a vertical and horizontal direction in relation to the first shell.

An electrical connector mounted on a circuit board, comprising:
- an insulating housing having contacts;
- a shielding shell disposed about the housing, the shielding shell including a first shell and a second shell;
- the first shell having a first side wall, the first side wall having a first locking member;
- and
- the second shell having a second side wall, the second side wall having a second locking member corresponding to the first locking member, the second locking member engages the first locking member so that the first side wall overlaps with the second side wall to prevent movement of the second shell in a vertical and horizontal direction in relation to the first shell.
A shielding shell for an electrical connector comprising:
- a first shell having a first shell end, the first shell end having a first locking member;
- and
- a second shell having a second shell end, the second shell end having a second locking member corresponding to the first locking member, the second locking member engages the first locking member so that the first shell end overlaps with the second shell end to prevent movement of the second shell end in a vertical or horizontal direction in relation to the first shell end.
