Abstract:
1. An electrical connector fixed on a printed circuit board (PCB) capable of receiving multiple plug connectors, comprising: an insulating housing having a base, at least one positioning block protruded from a front of the base separating the base into multiple parts; a plurality of terminals mounted into the insulating housing; a connecting element fixed on the positioning block having a base slice attached to a front of the positioning block, two opposite sides of the base slice extended rearward to form lateral slices attached to two lateral sides of the positioning block for electrically connecting with the inserted plug connectors; and a shielding shell covering the insulating housing having a top plate, two opposite sides of the top plate bent downward to form a pair of lateral plates, a bottom plate facing the top plate, a rear of the top plate extended rearward to form a rear plate which is bent downward to wrap the insulating housing, the positioning block cooperating with the shielding shell to form receiving spaces for receiving plug connectors; wherein at least one supporting portion is protruded from a lower position of the front of the base, and a supporting plate is protruded from a lower position of the front of the base than the positioning block, for supporting the bottom plate of the shielding shell.
