BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Referring toFIGS. 5 and 6, which is the skill in prior arts and comprise: a case4, which consists of a lower case41and an upper case42, an end of the lower case41is with two first fillister sets411, each of the first fillister set having two fillisters, plural holes412through a surface of the lower case41and two clasps413are within the two fillisters, two sides of an end of the lower case41are independently installed connecting portions414, two sides of the lower case41are with two fixing portions415individually, another end of the lower case41has two thread holes416; an end of the upper case42has two second fillister sets421corresponding the first fillister sets411of the lower case41, a plurality of containing rooms are thus formed by the first fillister sets411and the second fillister sets421, each of two sides of an end of the upper case42has a buckling portion422corresponding each of the connecting portions414for working together, each of two sides of the upper case42has a fixing portion423corresponding each of the two fixing portions415of the lower case41; a metal cover5, which wraps around an end of the case4and has a plurality of notches51corresponding the containing rooms, the metal cover5has several flexible members52to restrict the holes412.

A plurality of connectors6are arranged into the containing rooms while in assembly, and the two clasps413of the first fillister sets411of the lower case41hook up two sides of two connectors6therein, then the buckling portion422of the upper case42fastens the connecting portions414of the lower case41each other, the metal cover5may then put around an end of the case4to make the flexible members52of the metal cover5be restricted in the holes412of the lower case41and connect to two connectors6therein.

Although the above structure is a module connector, the metal cover5is only pushed into an end of the case4by way of putting around, and a distance is between an end edge of the lower case41and the holes412so as to that generating compression due to the metal cover5withstanding the end edge of the lower case41prior to the moment of the metal cover5wrapping around the end of the flexible members52. It is then that the flexible members52cannot be put into the holes412smoothly to connect the connectors6for deriving the condition of difficult assembly, and therefore the shielding effect of the module connector is worse. On the other hand, the connectors6connect to the first fillister sets411only by way of the clasps413hooking up a side of the connectors6. So, the connectors6connect to the clasps413unstably at the moment of sorting wires and after assembly, and it is thus the shielding may be worse as well. Obviously a radiator structured as above cannot reach the best effect in practice.
