Abstract
A connector shell includes an upper shell and a lower shell. The upper shell has a top plate positioned horizontally. Two opposite side edges of the top plate are bent downward and extend vertically to form two first side plates each defining a plurality of locking holes. The lower shell has a bottom plate positioned horizontally. Two opposite side edges of the bottom plate are bent upward and extend vertically to form two second side plates of which each protrudes outward to form a plurality of locking blocks corresponding to the locking holes of the upper shell. The upper shell and the lower shell are coupled and covered with each other with the first side plates abutting against outer sides of the second side plates. The locking blocks are buckled in the locking holes.
