Patent ID: 8147276

Claim:
An electrical connector, comprising: an insulating body having a base portion and a tongue portion extending forward from a front of the base portion; a plurality of terminals each having a fastening strip, a contact portion and a soldering tail connected with two opposite ends of the fastening strip, the soldering tail being substantially perpendicular to the fastening strip, the fastening strips being disposed in a top surface and a bottom surface of the tongue portion respectively and spaced from one another along a direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the tongue portion, the fastening strips further passing through the base portion to make the soldering tails stretch behind the base portion and further project upward beyond a top of the base portion; and a lid having a positioning body and a fastening portion protruding forward from a front of the positioning body, the positioning body defining a plurality of positioning apertures spaced from one another and each extending vertically to penetrate through the positioning body, the fastening portion being mounted to a bottom portion of the insulating body to make the positioning body locate behind the base portion, the soldering tails being respectively inserted in the positioning apertures to be positioned and strengthened by the positioning body, free ends of the soldering tails further projecting beyond a top of the positioning body; wherein two opposite ends of a top of the fastening portion oppositely protrude outward and then extend downward to form a pair of elastic arms of which bottom ends oppositely protrude outward to form a pair of buckling barbs, two sides of the top of the base portion define a pair of receiving fillisters of which two outmost sides each is provided with a guiding slope at a top thereof and a buckling groove at a bottom thereof, the fastening portion of the lid is mounted to the bottom portion by means of the bottom ends of the elastic arms being inserted in the corresponding receiving fillisters and the buckling barbs sliding downward along the guiding slopes to be buckled in the buckling grooves.
