Universal serial bus plug connector

An electric connector, comprising:

• a lower shielding shell having a first top, bottom, right side and left side wall and defining an opened top, each first side wall defining a first recess in connection with the opened top;
• a dielectric body fixedly mounted to the lower shielding shell;
• a number of contacts fixedly mounted to the body and having a contact portion for connecting with a mating connector and a terminal portion located under the opened top and in alignment with the first recesses so that a tool can approach the terminal portion from the opened top and the first recesses to perform a crimping or soldering operation thereto;
• a cable comprising a number of leads electrically and mechanically connected to the terminal portion of the contacts;
• and
• an upper shielding shell connected to the lower shielding shell and having a second top and right and left side walls covering the opened top and the first recesses of the lower shielding shell;
• wherein the lower shielding shell has a front opening for receiving a mating connector, the dielectric body has a front end located near the front opening, the lower shielding shell comprises a first L-shaped stopping tab engaging the front end of the dielectric body, the dielectric body has a rear end opposite the front end thereof, and the lower shielding shell comprises a second L-shaped stopping tab engaging the rear end of the dielectric body.

An electric connector, comprising:

• a lower shielding shell having a top wall, two side walls and a bottom wall cooperatively defining a front opening, an opened top and a rear opening;
• a dielectric body mounted into the lower shielding shell;
• a number of contacts mounted to the dielectric body and each having a contact port ion for electrically connecting with a mating connector extending through the front opening and a terminal portion located under the opened top;
• a cable having a number of leads extending into the lower shielding shell through the rear opening and mechanically and electrically connected with the terminal portion of the contacts;
• and
• an upper shielding shell connected to the lower shielding shell and covering the opened top thereof;
• wherein the bottom wall of the lower shielding shell is formed with a first L-shaped stopping tab extending upward from a front end thereof into the lower shielding shell and a second L-shaped stopping tab about a middle portion thereof, the first L-shaped stopping tab engaging a front end of the dielectric body, and the second L-shaped stopping tab engaging a rear end of the dielectric body.

• a cable comprising a number of leads electrically and mechanically connected to the terminal portion of the contacts;
• and
• an upper shielding shell connected to the lower shielding shell and having a second top and right and left side wall covering the opened top and the first recesses of the lower shielding shell;
• wherein the first top wall is substantially rectangular in shape and defines two cutouts at two rear corners thereof and a mounting hole therein, the dielectric body defines a top face comprising a mounting key protruding upwards therefrom into the mounting hole to engage with the first top wall, and the first side walls define a locking tab bent toward the dielectric body and engaging therewith.
