As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 5, the electrical connector includes a plurality of conductive terminals 2 〇〇, an insulating body 300, and a metal _4 〇〇. As shown in Figure u and the figure, the conductive terminals 2〇0 are made of a conductive material and are connected by a printed circuit board (not shown) for transmitting electrical signals. The gold contact body 4GG has an upper wall, a lower wall, and two side walls 200818636 430 and at least one connecting portion 440 that connects the upper wall 410 and the bottom end of the lower wall 420, respectively. As shown in Figures 2a and 2b, one end of each side wall 430 extends from one side of the upper wall 410, and the other end of the side wall 430 corresponds to the side of the lower wall 42. However, in various embodiments, one end of each side wall 430 can also extend from one side of the lower wall 420, and the other end of the side wall 430 corresponds to the side of the upper wall 41 (). The side wall 430 referred to herein corresponds to the side of the lower wall 420, and means that each side wall 430 shields the side edges of the upper wall 41 and the lower wall 420, respectively. In the embodiment shown in Figures 2a and 2b, the metal housing 4 is preferably formed by stamping and bending a rectangular frame into engagement with the insulative housing 3. As shown in the embodiment of Fig. 2a, the metal housing 4 is preferably provided with a pair of connecting portions 440. However, in various embodiments, a single connection 440 can also be provided. The connecting portions 440 are respectively disposed adjacent to the side walls 43A and maintain a gap 442 with the side walls 430, and the connecting portions 44 are respectively connected to the bottom ends of the upper wall 41 and the lower wall 420. Further, the positioning piece 441 is extended from one side of the connecting portion 44 to be folded and formed in the metal casing 4''.

The intermediate portion 450 further includes a plurality of engaging pieces 451 formed on each side, and the engaging portions 453 are formed on both sides of the engaging piece 451 for the second slot 32〇8 200818636 of the insulating body 3 (eg, Figures la and lb). Each of the slabs 451 further has at least one elastic piece 452 for electrically connecting to a corresponding male electrical connector (not shown). In the preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 2b, the number of the elastic pieces 452 of each of the engaging pieces 451 is preferably set to be the pair of elastic pieces 452. When the number of the elastic pieces 452 is larger, the engagement with the male electrical connector is better. On the contrary, when the number of the elastic pieces 452 is smaller, the electrical connection with respect to the male electrical connection is lower. However, in other different embodiments, a different number of springs 452 may alternatively be provided in each of the engaging tabs 451. The lower side of the lower casing 420 of the metal casing 400 is further formed with a plurality of engaging portions 470 for inserting and fitting with the insulating body 3 to increase the effect of the metal casing 4 being positioned on the insulating body 300. In order to ensure the positioning effect, at least one barb portion 471 is preferably provided on each side of each of the fitting portions 470. In addition, a plurality of contact portions 460 are preferably disposed on the other side and both sides of the lower wall 420 of the metal casing 400. The contact portion 460 is mainly grounded to a corresponding printed circuit board (not shown) to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI), and the present invention has the function of positioning the printed circuit board. However, in other different embodiments, the contact portion 460 may be provided on the periphery of the lower wall 420 to increase the positioning effect. 3a and 3b are views showing another preferred embodiment of the metal casing of the present invention.
