Claim:
1. An electrical connector, comprising: a dielectric body, two opposite sides of a top surface of the dielectric body being recessed inward to form two recesses passing through a front surface of the dielectric body, two opposite sides of a bottom surface of the dielectric body being recessed inward to form another two recesses passing through a front surface of the dielectric body; a plurality of terminals integrally molded to the dielectric body and arranged in two rows along an up-down direction, front ends of the terminals projecting beyond a front surface of the dielectric body; an insulating housing having a top wall, a bottom wall, two side walls and a rear wall, an insertion space being formed among the top wall, the bottom wall, the two side walls and the rear wall, a top surface of the top wall and a bottom surface of the bottom wall of the insulating housing being recessed inward to form two fastening cavities, rear ends of the two side walls being spaced from each other to form an assembling opening between the rear ends of the two side walls, the dielectric body together with the terminals being assembled to the insulating housing, the dielectric body being assembled in the assembling opening, the front ends of the terminals partially projecting into the insertion space; two shielding elements fastened to the two fastening cavities, respectively, each of the shielding elements having a fastening piece, two opposite sides of a front edge of the fastening piece extending frontward to form a pair of elastic arms arched outward, distal ends of the two elastic arms being connected with a connecting arm, two opposite sides of a rear edge of the fastening piece extending rearward to form two extending arms, two portions of a middle of the rear edge of the fastening piece slantwise extending rearward and outward to form two abutting portions, the fastening pieces, the elastic arms, the connecting arms and the two abutting portions of the two shielding elements being received in the two fastening cavities, respectively, the extending arms projecting into the respective recesses; and a shielding shell surrounding the dielectric body, the insulating housing and the shielding elements, the abutting portions abutting against an inner surface of the shielding shell.
