Electrical connector having excellent waterproof property

An electrical connector, comprising:

• a terminal module having an insulative housing and a plurality of conductive terminals retained in the insulative housing;
• and
• a shielding shell surrounding the terminal module to form a mating cavity forwardly communicating with an exterior along a front-to-back direction, the shielding shell having a metallic shell and an insulative waterproof shell formed integrally with the metallic shell by an insert molding process, and the metallic shell having a resilient pressing portion extending inwardly into the mating cavity and a corresponding opening slot;
• wherein the waterproof shell has an abdicating room disposed at an outer side of the resilient pressing portion and the opening slot.

An electrical connector comprising:

• a terminal module having an insulative housing and a plurality of conductive terminals retained in the insulative housing, the insulative housing having a base portion and a mating portion extending forwardly from the base portion along a front-to-back direction, said base portion forming an internal space;
• a shielding shell surrounding the terminal module to form a mating cavity opening forwardly, the shielding shell having a metallic shell and an insulative waterproof shell formed integrally with the metallic shell by an insert molding process, the mating portion extending into the mating cavity;
• and
• an insulative waterproof member received in the internal space;
• wherein
• the waterproof shell defines an opening hole, and the waterproof member is exposed to the opening hole to communicate with an exterior so as to allow waterproof material to be injected into the internal space through said opening hole from the exterior to form the waterproof member.
