Abstract
An electrical connector includes an insulative body enclosed in a shielding casing. The body includes a rear wall and a base section perpendicularly extending from the rear wall. The rear wall defines a plurality of T-shaped slots and the base section defines grooves in communication with the slots for receiving L-shaped contact elements therein. The casing has a top panel and two side panels extending from opposite edges thereof. A bottom panel formed between the side panels includes two sections extending from the side panels and confronting each other. Each bottom panel section has an extension formed on a free edge thereof serving as a board lock. A rear panel extends from a rear edge of the top panel and closes a rear opening of the casing. Two extensions are formed on a lower edge of the rear panel to serve as board locks.
