Abstract:
1. A metallic housing structure for USB connectors, comprising: a housing body formed integrally in one-piece formation and having a cavity surrounded by a longitudinally extended base plate, two side plates and a top plate, the two side plates formed by extending up from the two longitudinal sides of the base plate, the top plate having a first end portion connecting to an upper front part of the two side plates, the top plate having a second end portion longitudinally spaced from the first end portion and defining a lid body and a connecting part disposed between said first and second end portions, the connecting part being perforated by a plurality of openings spaced one from another transversely across the top plate to adapt the lid body to be reversibly angularly displaced relative to the first end portion and thereby expose and form a closure for an opening hole in open communication with the cavity to provide access thereto.
