Abstract
An electrical connector has a base, a terminal set, a pair of holding pieces, an insulating body and a shell. The base has two holding piece slots respectively formed in two sides of the bottom of base. The pair of holding pieces is assembled into the holding piece slots respectively. Each holding piece is C-shaped and has a notch formed in a rear end of the holding piece and serving to hold a PCB board. A front end of each holding piece is assembled into the base. Given the pair of holding pieces with an assemblable structure, the size of the holding pieces can be tailored to the requirement of customers. The shell is formed by a two-stage of drawing process to enhance overall strength of the shell to facilitate the plating process afterwards.
