Patent ID: 7748999

Claim:
An electrical connector, comprising: an insulating housing, the insulating housing including a rectangular top wall, two facing lateral walls connected to two opposite sides of the top wall, a front wall extended downwards from a front side of the top wall and connected with the two lateral walls to form a receiving chamber, the front wall having a portion extended frontward to form a mating portion, the mating portion having a plurality of passageways extending frontward and rearward for communicating with the receiving chamber on a top surface and a bottom surface respectively; a first terminal module having a plurality of first conductive terminals and a first base for restraining the first conductive terminals, the first conductive terminals having contacting portions extended outside the first base and arranged side by side to form one row for being received in the passageways defined on the top surface; a second terminal module disposed under the first terminal module, the second terminal module having a plurality of second conductive terminals and a second base for restraining the second conductive terminals, the second conductive terminals having contacting portions extended outside the second base and arranged side by side to form one row spaced from the row of the contacting portions of the first conductive terminals for being received in the passageways defined on the bottom surface; and a shielding shell enclosing a periphery of the insulating housing, the shielding shell including a first metal shell, a second metal shell and a third metal shell, the first metal shell having a base plate disposed at a rear of the insulating housing to close the receiving chamber, the base plate having an upper side bent perpendicularly to form two T-shaped buckling portions spaced away from each other, bottom ends of two opposite sides of the base plate having two hanging portions of L shape which are located at a same side as the buckling portions with respect to the base plate with oriented ends thereof directing downwards; wherein the first base is fixed on the second base to make the first terminal module and the second terminal module received in the receiving chamber of the housing at one time.
