Abstract:
1. An electrical connector receptacle comprising: a connector housing having at least one locking section in which a nut-storing-section is formed; a nut stored in the nut-storing-section; and a metal shell that covers part of an outer surface of the connector housing; wherein the nut-storing-section is open at an upper side, and formed in a vertically elongated, concave shape with a depth at which the nut is fully received, and has a screw-insertion-hole running through the locking section in a back and forth direction across the nut-storing-section, and a shell-strip through-hole running through the locking section above the screw-insertion-hole and in the back-and-forth direction across the nut-storing-section; wherein a retaining through-strip is formed in the shell and is inserted into the shell-strip through-hole and contacted to an upper part of the nut stored in the nut-storing-section, thereby preventing falling-off of the nut and providing electrical conduction to the nut; and wherein a latching strip is extendedly provided at a front end of the retaining through-strip, which runs through the shell-strip through-hole and is bent in a vertical direction to fix the shell to the connector housing.
