Electrical connector having an outer shielding covered by a cover with a resilient plate extending upward and rearward

An electrical connector for being mounted to a circuit board, comprising:

• a main body mounted to the circuit board;
• a plurality of terminals fastened to the main body and arranged transversely, rear ends of the terminals being mounted to the circuit board, and front ends of the terminals being exposed out of the main body;
• an outer shielding shell surrounding the main body together with the terminals, a front end of the main body being spaced from an inner surface of a front end of the outer shielding shell to form an insertion space between the front end of the main body and the front end of the outer shielding shell;
• and
• a cover covered outside the outer shielding shell, a rear end of the cover defining a resilient plate slantwise extending upward and rearward, a rear edge of the resilient plate bent perpendicular to the resilient plate to form a rear plate, the resilient plate being separably mounted to an outside of the outer shielding shell to make the rear plate disposed behind or above the main body and the outer shielding shell.
