Abstract:
An electrical connector includes an insulative housing, plural conductive terminals affixed to the insulative housing, and a shielding shell enclosing the insulative housing for forming a receiving room. The insulative housing includes a base portion and a tongue portion extending forwardly from the base portion. Each conductive terminal has a contacting portion disposed in the tongue portion. The shielding shell has a first wall, a second wall opposite to the first wall, and a pair of lateral walls connecting the first wall and the second wall. The thickness of the first wall is smaller than that of the lateral walls.

Claim (Index 16):
A method of making a low profile electrical connector, comprising steps of:\n providing a tuber metallic shielding shell by metal injection molding with opposite top and bottom walls in a vertical direction and a pair of opposite lateral side walls along a transverse direction perpendicular to said vertical direction to commonly form therein a receiving room extending along a front-to-back direction perpendicular to both said vertical direction and said transverse direction wherein a thickness of either the top wall or the bottom wall is smaller than those of the side walls, wherein said shielding shell unitarily forms an immoveable tuber extending into the receiving room, and a deflectable resisting protrusion located behind the tuber in the front-to-back direction; forming a contact module via insert molding with a plurality of conductive contacts fixed within an insulative housing, said housing including a base portion and a tongue portion forwardly extending from the base portion in the front-to-back direction; and forwardly assembling said contact module into the receiving room from a rear side of the shielding shell in said front-to-back direction until the base portion forwardly abuts against the tuber when the resisting protrusion is located at a first position, and successively deflecting the resisting protrusion toward a second position to prevent backward movement of the contact module with regard to the shielding shell in the front-to-back direction so as to have the base portion snugly sandwiched between the tuber and the resisting protrusion in the front-to-back direction.
