Abstract

An electrical connector is adapted for being mounted to a printed circuit board. The electrical connector includes a housing, a plurality of terminals, a shell and a bracket. A front edge of a periphery of the housing is protruded outward to form a flange. The terminals are received in the housing. The shell surrounds the housing. A front edge of the shell abuts against the flange. The bracket has a base board, and two opposite ends of the base board extends downward to form two blocking boards. Bottoms of the blocking boards extend outward to form two soldering boards. The base board of the bracket is mounted on the top board of the shell. The blocking boards are mounted on the two side boards. Front edges of the base board and the blocking boards of the bracket abut against the flange.
