Embodiment Construction

[0013]Reference will now be made to the drawing figures to describe the preferred embodiment of the present invention in detail. FIGS. 1 to 2 illustrate an electrical connector assembly 100 including a first connector 200 and a mateable second connector 300.

[0014]As shown in FIG. 3, the first connector 200 includes a first insulative housing 1, a pair of first terminals 2 retained in the first insulative housing 1 and a metallic shell 3 enclosing the first insulative housing 1. The first insulative housing 1 comprises a body portion 11 and a mating portion 12 extending forwardly from the body portion 11. The mating portion 12 defines a first surface 121, a second surface 122 opposite to the first surface 121 and a front surface 123 connecting the first surface 121 with the second surface 122. A receiving space 124 is formed in the mating portion 12 of the housing 1 and penetrates through the first surface 121, the second surfaces 122 and the front surface 123 so as to form two separ...

Abstract

An electrical connector includes an insulative housing, a pair of terminals and a metallic shell retained in the insulative housing. The insulative housing includes a mating portion defining a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface and a front surface connecting the first and second surfaces. A receiving space formed in the mating portion and penetrating through the front surface. The terminals include contact portions extending into the receiving space. The metallic shell includes a first wall extending forwardly, an end wall bending downwardly from a front end of the first wall and a second wall bending rearwardly from a bottom end of the end wall. The first and second walls cover the first and second surfaces of the mating portion respectively. The end wall covers the front surface and defines an opening communicating with the receiving space.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to an electrical connector, and more particularly to a power electrical connector with improved metallic shell.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2010 / 0093222 published on Apr. 15, 2010 discloses an electrical connector including an insulative housing, a plurality of terminals and a metallic shell enclosing the insulative housing. The metallic shell is stamped as a frame-shaped configuration and comprises two ends coupled to each other by riveting. The manufacturing method of the metallic shell is complicated.[0005]Hence, an improved electrical connector with an improved metallic shell are needed to solve the above problem.BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0006]The present invention provides an electrical connector including an insulative housing, a pair of terminals and a metallic shell retained in the insulative housing. The insulative housing in...
