An electrical connector for receiving an electronic component therein, comprising:
- an insulating housing defining a receiving room;
- a plurality of contacts mounted in the housing;
- and
- a top shell mounted on the top of the housing and comprising a pair of opposite first wall and a pair of opposite second wall;
- wherein a bending portion extends from the top of each first wall toward the receiving room, an assembling portion extending from the bottom of each bending portion downwardly, and a corresponding assembling groove is defined on the housing and engages with the assembling portion for fixing the top shell onto the housing.
An electrical connector, comprising:
- an insulative housing having a receiving space defined by sidewalls with a bridging portion extending between a first pair of opposite sidewalls, a plurality of passageways defined in the other pair of opposite sidewalls and extending from the bottom into the other pair of opposite sidewalls;
- a plurality of contact terminals assembled to the plurality of passageways, and each including a base portion retained within the passageway, and a tail portion extending outside of the other pair of opposite sidewalls and located adjacent to a top edge of the other pair of sidewalls, and a contact engaging portion extending into the receiving space from the bottom of the housing;
- a first shielding element attached to the housing from the bottom thereof;
- and
- a second shielding element attached to the housing from atop thereof and jointly with the first shield to substantially surround the housing and the contact terminals.
A product of method for configuring a shielded electrical connector, comprising the steps of:
- a) providing an insulative housing having a hollow configuration with a bridging portion interconnecting first opposite sidewalls;
- b) providing a plurality of passageways in a second opposite sidewall and extending from a bottom thereof;
- c) providing a plurality of contact terminals assembled into the plurality of passageways;
- d) providing a first shielding element attached to the housing from the bottom;
- and
- e) providing a second shielding element attached to the housing from a top thereof so as to substantially enclosing the housing along with the first shield element.
