Abstract
An electrical connector assembly (100) includes a case (1) defining a chamber therein; a connector (2) received in the chamber, the connector having a metallic shell (22); a printed circuit board (23) enclosed in the case, the printed circuit board having main portion and side portion laterally projecting from the main portion, the side portion having a conductive layer (230) on a top surface thereof, and a hole (231) defined in the side portion through the conductive layer, the hole further aligning with a through hole defined in the case; and the metallic shell of the connector soldered to the main portion of the printed circuit board.
Claims13
An electrical connector assembly, comprising:
- a case defining a chamber therein;
- a connector received in the chamber, the connector having a metallic shell;
- a printed circuit board enclosed in the case, the printed circuit board having a main portion and a side portion laterally projecting from the main portion, the side portion having a conductive layer on a top surface thereof and a hole defined in the side portion through the conductive layer, the hole further aligning with a through hole defined in the case;
- and
- the metallic shell of the connector soldered to the main portion of the printed circuit board.
An electrical connector assembly, comprising:
- a case having an upper cover and a lower cover;
- at least one connector enclosed in the case, the connector having a metallic shell;
- and
- a printed circuit board enclosed in the case, the printed circuit board having T-shaped contour, the metallic shell of the connector soldered to a front segment of the printed circuit board, and a rear segment of the printed circuit board adapted for being soldered to a cable, and a lateral segment with a conductive layer thereon;
- and a hole defined in the lateral segment of the printed circuit board.
An electrical connector assembly comprising:
- a case defining a chamber therein;
- a connector received in the chamber;
- a printed circuit board enclosed in the case, the printed circuit board having a main portion with said connector mounted thereon, and a side portion projecting from the main portion, the side portion being equipped with a conductive layer, and a hole defined in the side portion through the conductive layer, the hole further aligning with a through hole defined in the case;
- wherein
- a metallic screw extends through said through hole and said hole for fastening the case to a panel.
