Patent ID: 7661968

Claim:
An electrical connector, comprising: an insulating housing defining a top surface, a front surface and a rear surface opposite to the front surface; a plurality of terminals mounted in the insulating housing, each of the terminals having a contacting portion exceeding the top surface of the insulating housing, at least one of the contacting portions of the terminals being adjacent to the rear surface; and a cover coupled with the insulating housing, the cover having a covering plate suspended over the top surface of the insulating housing, at least one anti-mismating portion corresponding to the terminal of which the contacting portion is adjacent to the rear surface, extending downwardly from the covering plate for being mounted on a portion of the top surface adjacent to the front surface, the anti-mismating portion being capable of interfering with the contacting portion of the terminal when the cover is mounted to the insulating housing in a contrary way, the cover including two lateral plates, an inner surface of each of the lateral plates having a first protrusion extending frontward and rearward, and a second protrusion parallel to the first protrusion to form a receiving recess, a side of the insulating housing corresponding to the lateral plate having a stopping portion extending frontward and rearward received in the receiving recess for preventing the cover from moving upwards and downwards; wherein the stopping portion has at least one end extending substantially perpendicular to the stopping portion to form a blocking portion.
