Abstract
A connector includes an insulating housing, a plurality of terminals assembled in the insulating housing, and a shielding shell curved from a metal plate to show a substantially rectangular tubular shape with a receiving space therein. Two free ends of the metal plate are acted as a pair of jointing plates end-to-end jointed with each other. Two end edges of the jointing plates jointed together each have a portion bent downward beyond a level plane of the jointing plates and then extended overstride the joint of the jointing plates to form a reinforcing portion. The reinforcing portion of one jointing plate is superposed against a bottom face of the other jointing plate and further welded with the other jointing plate together to ensure the jointing plates firmly jointed with each other. The insulating housing with the terminals is inserted rearward in the receiving space of the shielding shell.
