Abstract
An electrical connector has a rectangular insulative housing, a plurality of conductive terminals and a grounding plate respectively received in the housing, and a shell covering the housing. Cavities are defined at both sides of the housing and through a front surface and a rear surface thereof. The grounding plate includes a connecting portion, a plurality of contact pins extending from an edge of the connecting portion, and locking portions respectively extending from opposing sides of the connecting portion. In assembly, the grounding plate is inserted into the housing, the locking portions being embedded in the cavities. The shell has rear portions at a rear thereof for covering rear of the cavities thereby fixing the locking portions when assembled. At least a projecting point is formed on the connecting portion and opposite to the contact pins, and reliably contacts the rear portions of the shell for grounding.
