Universal serial Bus B-type plug connector

Abstract

A Universal Serial B-type plug connector (1) consists of a dielectric casing (10) defining a front recess (22) for receiving a mating receptacle connector, four rear trenches (16) defined by a horizontal partition (13) and a vertical partition (14) mutually perpendicular to each other and four mounting channels (17) connecting the trenches (16) with the recess (22), respectively. Four contact pieces (30) each have a contact (32) extending into the recess (22), a mounting section (37) forcedly fitted into the one of the mounting channels (17), and a terminal portion (31) snugly fit into one of the trenches (16). A rear shield frame portion (50) has a base plate (51) abutting a rear end (13) of the dielectric casing (10) and two wings (502, 504) clipping a cable (2) connected with the connector (1). A front shield frame portion (70) has locking hooks (72) at a rear end thereof which are securely fixed to mounting slots (54) of the base plate (51), whereby the front shield frame portion (70) cooperates with the rear shield frame portion (50) to electromagnetically shield the dielectric housing (10).
