Abstract
An electrical connector adapted for connecting a camera module to a printed circuit board via a flexible printed circuit comprises a shield and a spring plate. The shield includes a pair of opposite rear and front walls, a pair of left and right walls adjacent to the rear and front walls, and a flat bottom wall connecting the walls together to enclose a cavity for receiving the camera module. The spring plate is mounted on the bottom wall of the shell and has a main portion and a number of elastic arms extending outward from the two opposite sides of the main portion. Each of the front and rear wall of the shield includes an upright base extending upwardly from the bottom wall, a retaining section extending upwardly from the center of the upright base, and a pair of fastening sections extending from both sides of the retaining section and bending toward the receiving cavity.
