Abstract
An electrical connector (1) for electrically connecting a flexible printed circuit (FPC) with a printed circuit board (PCB) includes an insulative housing (2), a shielding (3) mounted on the housing, and a plurality of conductive terminals (4) received in the housing. The shielding includes a first wall (31) and a second wall (32) parallel to the first wall. The second wall includes a plurality of grounding tabs (325) extending therefrom. This ensures that the housing receives the terminals stably, and this reduces manufacturing costs of the connector. Furthermore, a mating end (329) of the second wall has a double-layered configuration. This ensures that the shielding has good retention.
