Patent ID: 8366486

Claim:
An electrical connector adapted for being soldered on a circuit board, comprising: an insulating housing having a base body and a tongue portion protruding forward from a front of the base body, the insulating housing defining a plurality of terminal grooves of which each includes a passage extending longitudinally to pass through a top of the tongue portion and the base body, and a receiving slot passing through a rear surface and a bottom surface of the base body, and communicating with the passage; a plurality of terminals received in the terminal grooves of the insulating housing, each terminal having a fastening portion fastened in a rear of the passage, a contact portion connecting with a front of the fastening portion to be located in the passage and elastically project beyond the top of the tongue portion, and a soldering portion bent downward and then extending forward from a rear of the fastening portion to be disposed in the receiving slot, a bottom face of the soldering portion being in alignment with the bottom surface of the base body to be soldered on the circuit board; a main shielding shell surrounding the tongue portion together with the terminals with the tongue portion being apart from periphery inner sides of the main shielding shell to define an insertion space between the periphery inner sides of the main shielding shell and periphery outer sides of the tongue portion; and an auxiliary shielding shell having a base plate positioned to the rear surface of the base body to cover up top portions of the soldering portions of the terminals which are exposed to the rear surface of the base body through the receiving slots, and two bending plates bent forward from two opposite sides of the base plate to be electrically attached to the main shielding shell.
