Abstract
A USB socket connector includes a plastic core member, which has metal terminals embedded therein and a constraint member, for example, a raised portion, and a metal casing, which houses the plastic core member and has a constraint device, for example, notch that receives the constraint device of the plastic core member to hold the plastic core member in position upon insertion of the plastic core member into the casing, and two rear extension arms that are bent into shape and stopped against the back side of the plastic core member to hold down the plastic core member firmly in place after insertion of the plastic core member into the metal casing.
