Electrical connector with blocking portions for preventing latching arms from tilting

An electrical connector comprising:

• an insulative housing defining a longitudinal main body, the main body being provided with an inserted groove extending along a longitudinal direction, and defining a plurality of passages therein, two opposite ends of the main body each projecting forwards and respectively a latching arm and a blocking arm positioned outside of the latching arm;
• a plurality of contacts received in the corresponding passages;
• and
• a pair of latching members assembled on the latching arms, each latching member being attached to an outer side of a corresponding latching arm and defining a blocking portion extending under the blocking arm.

An electrical connector comprising:

• an insulative housing defining an elongated main body, extending along longitudinal direction, with a pair of block arms unitarily formed at two opposite ends thereof and extending in a front-to-back direction perpendicular to said longitudinal direction;
• a pair of latching arms unitarily formed with the main body adjacent to the corresponding block arms respectively, each of said latching arms defining a locking portion formed on an inner face of a free end portion thereof;
• and
• a pair of reinforcement members attached to the pair of latching arms, respectively, each of said reinforcement members defining a unitarily laterally inwardly extending guiding portion atop the locking portion, and a unitarily laterally outwardly extending blocking portion intimately located under a section of the blocking arm so as to cooperate with the guiding portion to restrict relative movement between the latching arm and the reinforcement member in a vertical direction perpendicular to said longitudinal direction and said front-to-back direction.
