Abstract
An electrical connector (100) adapted for receiving a module body (4) comprises an insulative housing defining a cavity (10) for receiving the module body therein, a plurality of contacts (2) received in the insulative housing and a shielding shell (3). The shielding shell defines sidewalls (31,32) surrounding the housing and a pair of T-shaped resilient arms (33) extending upwards and towards the cavity from two opposite sidewalls. Each resilient arm has at least one pressing portion (333) extending downwards therefrom to press against the module body.

An electrical connector adapted for receiving a module body, comprising:
- an insulative housing defining a cavity for receiving the module body therein;
- a plurality of contacts received in the insulative housing;
- a shielding shell defining sidewalls surrounding the housing and a pair of resilient arms extending upwards and towards the cavity from two opposite sidewalls, each resilient arm having at least one pressing portion extending downwards to press against the module body.
An electrical connector for electrically connecting a module body to a printed circuit board (PCB), the module body comprising a lower base portion with a plurality of conductive pads thereon and a column portion above the base potion, the electrical connector comprising:
- an insulative housing defining an upper cavity dimensioned to receive the lower base portion of the module body;
- a plurality of contacts received in the insulative housing, each terminal having a base portion secured in the housing, a contact portion extending into the cavity of the housing for electrically engaging with corresponding conductive pads of the module body and a soldering portion electrically engaging with the PCB;
- a shielding shell surrounding an outer side of the insulative housing, comprising a pair of opposite T-shaped resilient arms deflectably embracing an outer surface of the column portion and pressing portions pressing against an upper surface of the lower base portion of the module body diagonally.
An electrical connector assembly comprising:
- an insulative housing defining an upward cavity;
- a module body received in said cavity;
- a plurality of contacts received in the insulative housing with contacting portions extending into the cavity;
- a shielding shell defining sidewalls surrounding the housing and at least a resilient arm extending over a top edge of housing and towards the cavity having at least one pressing portion extending downwards to press against the module body.
