Patent ID: 8262414

Claim:
A connector connected with a printed circuit board (PCB) for mating with a plug connector, comprising: an insulating housing having a base and a tongue extending forward from a front of the base; a plurality of terminals assembled in the insulating housing respectively and further projecting out of a rear of the base for being soldered with the PCB; a first conductive shell having a receiving space surrounded by a top plate, two lateral plates and a bottom plate, two sides of a front of the top plate defining a pair of first openings spaced from each other and communicating with the receiving space, a rear side of each first opening extending forward into the corresponding first opening to form an elastic arm with a free end thereof arched downward into the receiving space, the insulating housing being inserted forward in the receiving space with the elastic arms located over the tongue; a second conductive shell having a base board electrically fixed on the top plate of the first shell, two sides of a front of the base board defining a pair of second openings corresponding to the first openings of the first shell, a rear side of each second opening protruding forward into the corresponding second opening to form an extending arm resting against a top of the corresponding elastic arm for strengthening insertion and extraction strength of the elastic arms acting on the plug connector; wherein each lateral plate is punched outward to form two inverted-L shaped soldering portions spaced from each other along the front-to-rear direction of the lateral plate, two opposite side edges of the base board extend downward to form a pair of side boards abutting against the lateral plates respectively, two portions of each side board corresponding to the soldering portions are punched outward to slant outward from top to bottom with respect to the side board and then extend downward to form a pair of fixing legs which are draped over the corresponding soldering portions, free ends of the soldering portions and the fixing legs are respectively inserted in the PCB; and wherein the second shell is fixed on the first shell by means of electric welding.
