Abstract
An electrical connector includes a base seat, a plurality of contacts fixed in the base seat, and a shielding shell surrounding the base seat. The shielding shell defines a body portion retained in the base seat, a rear wall attached a rear face of the base seat and a plurality of soldering portions extending outside of the body portion. The electrical connector defines a mounting surface, a lower edge of the rear wall is higher than the mounting surface and defines at least one board-lock portion to improve the resonant frequency.

An electrical connector, comprising:
- a base seat;
- a plurality of contacts fixed in the base seat;
- and
- a shielding shell surrounding the base seat and defining a body portion retained in the base seat, a rear wall attached a rear face of the base seat and a plurality of soldering portions extending outside of the body portion;
- wherein
- the electrical connector defines a mounting surface, a lower edge of the rear wall is higher than the mounting surface and defines at least one board-lock portion to improve the resonant frequency.
An electrical connector assembly comprising:
- a printed circuit board defining a notch;
- an electrical connector forming a front mating port and a rear mounting port a long a front-to-back direction, and including an insulative housing with an upside-down L-shaped base seat in the rear mounting port and a mating tongue forwardly extending from the base seat in the mating port;
- a plurality of contacts disposed in the housing with front contacting sections exposed in the mating port and rear mounting sections in the mounting port;
- and
- a metallic shell enclosing the housing to form said mating port which is essentially located in the notch, said shell further including a pair of side walls and a rear wall cooperating with each other to shield a rear horizontal portion of the base seat and be mounted upon a top surface of said printed circuit board;
- wherein
- the base seat defined a mounting face intimately confronting downwardly the top surface of the printed circuit board, and all said pair side walls and said rear wall are equipped with mounting devices to mechanically and electrically connect to the printed circuit board.
