Abstract
An electrical connector includes a unitary insulative housing having an upper half and a lower half respectively defining a first chamber and a second chamber therein. A plurality of first conductive pins are received in the first chamber and enclosed by a first shielding member to form a power connector for transmitting electrical power. A plurality of second conductive pins are received in the second chamber and enclosed by a second shielding member to form a signal connector for transmitting signals. The signal connector may be a USB (universal series bus) connector. Thus, the USB connector has an integral power connector for supplying electrical power to drive electronic devices connected thereto.
