Abstract
An electrical connector (100) mountable on a bottom side of a PCB (200) includes a dielectric housing (40), a plurality of terminals (50) retained in the housing, and a shielding case (130) covering the housing. The shielding case has a front section (20) with an upwardly protruding orientation key (210), a rear section (30) and a covering section (10). The covering section is formed from one piece of metal sheet and provides a pair of side walls (12), a transverse wall (11) interconnected therebetween, two metal feet (120) projecting upwardly from corresponding side walls for securing the connector to the PCB and a detent lock (110) formed in a middle of the transverse wall bending inwardly and rearwardly for providing a retention force against a mating complementary connector.
