The second shell is mounted on the front of the first shell, and the third shell is mounted on the above of the first and second shells. The contacts are inserted into the case from the second shell, and pass through the receiving cavity to extend out of the first shell. Rear ends of the contacts are held by and soldered on the solder-assist pieces. The magnetic unit includes at least two magnetic bodies separately located on the upside and downside of the contacts, so that efficiently using the inside space of the electrical connector, increasing the size of the magnetic unit and enhancing the magnetic attraction.
