ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector comprises a body, a metal plate and a shield. The body defines a plurality of passageways for retaining terminals therein. The shield encloses the body and the body has an exposed bottom face for mating with a circuit board. The metal plate surrounds the body, and a pair of board locks is formed on opposite lateral ends of the metal plate. Each board lock comprises a base, a pair of folded portions extending from opposite ends of the base, a leg extending from each folded portion, and a barb formed on a free end of each leg. A resilient plate extends from a central portion of the base. A folded tip is formed on a free end of the resilient plate. When the board lock extends through a receiving hole of another circuit board having a different thickness, the electrical connector is properly secured to the circuit board due to the provision of the resilient plate and the barbs.
