Abstract

An electrical connector includes a shield (1), a flexible printed circuit (2) and a support element (4). The shield has a receiving space (10) and a pair of sidewalls (12). Each sidewall defines thereon a pair of open slots (125) to form a body portion (121) disposed above said open slots. Each body portion has a pair of opposite free ends projecting toward the receiving space to form a pair of resilient portions for standing against the electrical element. The flexible printed circuit is received in the receiving space for electrically connecting the electrical element. The support element upholds the flexible printed circuit for maintaining an electrical connection between the flexible printed circuit and the electrical element.
