Claim:
An electrical connector for mating with a mating connector, comprising: an insulating housing, an upper side and a lower side of a rear end of the insulating housing defining a first locating cavity and a second locating cavity, respectively; a plurality of electric terminals disposed in the insulating housing, the electric terminal having a contact portion for contacting with the mating connector and a soldering portion for being exposed from the rear end of the insulating housing; an insulating cover assembly surrounding the rear end of the insulating housing by a front end of the insulating cover assembly, the insulating cover assembly including an upper cover and a lower cover mated with each other, the upper cover having a first locating portion protruded downward from a portion thereof, the lower cover having a second locating portion protruded upward from a portion thereof, wherein when the insulating cover assembly is rightly assembled with the insulating housing, the first and second locating portions are received in the first and second locating cavities, when the insulating cover assembly is falsely assembled with the insulating housing, the first and second locating portions are interfered with the insulating housing to prevent the false assembly of the insulating cover assembly and the insulating housing; and a circuit board located in the insulating cover assembly for electrically connecting with the soldering portions of the electric terminals which are extended into the insulating cover assembly a shell covering the insulating housing, wherein the shell includes a top board and a bottom board, a middle of a rear edge of the top board extends rearward to form a top rear board, a middle of a rear edge of the bottom board extends rearward to form a bottom rear board, two rear corners of the insulating housing are protruded upward and downward to form two top blocks and two bottom blocks, respectively, the top rear board is fastened between the top blocks and located in the insulating cover assembly, the bottom rear board is fastened between the bottom blocks and located in the insulating cover assembly, each top block defines one first locating cavity for receiving corresponding first locating portion, each bottom block defines one second locating cavity for receiving corresponding second locating portion.
