Abstract
An I/O connector (100) includes an insulative housing (10) having a base portion (11) and a fitting portion (12) extending forwardly from the base portion, a number of terminals (30) retained in the insulative housing, and a metal covering portion (20) integrally molded with the insulative housing. The metal covering portion has a main portion (21) embedded with the base portion, a pair of deflexed side portions (22) engaging with two sides of the fitting portion, and a front portion (23) engaging with a front edge of the fitting portion. The main portion defines a slit (212) and forms a corresponding slant portion (213) extending into the slit. The fitting portion forms an upper hook (124). The upper hook is received in the slit and engages with the slant portion.
