Patent ID: 8206161

Claim:
An electrical connector assembly, comprising: a printed circuit board having a circuit board and a soldering board extending forward from a front end of the circuit board, a plurality of soldering holes being opened on the soldering board; and an electrical connector having: an insulating housing having a base portion, an inserting portion protruding frontward from a front surface of the base portion, and a propping portion extending rearward from a bottom portion of a rear surface of the base portion; a plurality of signal terminals assembled in the insulating housing, each signal terminal having a soldering tail projecting upward beyond a top surface of the propping portion for being inserted into the corresponding soldering hole of the soldering board and then soldered with the soldering board; a main shell having a lower shell, a front shell where the inserting portion and the base portion are inserted forward, and a connecting plate connecting between the front shell and the lower shell for propping up the propping portion thereon, two opposite side edges of the connecting plate protruding upward to form two shielding plates respectively connecting with rear edges of two opposite sides of the front shell for clipping the propping portion and the soldering board therebetween to make the circuit board project in the lower shell, the lower shell having a base board and two side boards protruding upward from two opposite side edges of the base board; and an upper shell matched with the lower shell to define a receiving room for receiving the circuit board therein, the upper shell having a base plate covered on the circuit board, and two lateral plates extending downward from two opposite lateral edges of the base plate for matching with the side boards of the lower shell, a front edge of each lateral plate extending toward the corresponding shielding plate to form a front plate obstructing in the front of the lower shell to seal up the receiving room, a front edge of the base plate extending frontward to form an auxiliary plate covered on the soldering board and cooperating with a top rear end of the front shell and tops of the shielding plates to enclose the soldering board thereamong.
