Patent ID: 7607947

Claim:
An electrical connector adapted for being electrically connected with a printed circuit board, comprising: an insulating housing having a basic body which has two opposite holding blocks extending from two opposite ends of the basic body and a mating portion extending from one side of the basic body opposite to the holding blocks, the basic body defining at least one through-hole which penetrates through the basic body, the mating portion defining a plurality of terminal passageways rowed transversely with respect to a mating direction of the connector, the terminal passageways which penetrate through the basic body and the mating portion are located adjacent to one side of the through-hole, the two holding blocks defining two guiding recesses facing each other for locating the printed circuit board; a plurality of terminals received in the corresponding terminal passageways, each of the terminals having a soldering portion extending outside of the terminal passageway for being soldered to one surface of the printed circuit board; and a shell encircling the mating portion of the insulating housing, the shell having at least one pressing slice passing through the through-hole of the basic body for pressing against and electrically contacting a grounding point defined on the other surface of the printed circuit board.
