ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector comprises a number of contacts, a first dielectric housing, a second dielectric housing having a pair of support portions, a shield forming a number of latching openings therein and a pair of clasps thereon, and a pair of guiding members. The first and second housings are fixed together and the contacts are received therein. A number of latching members are formed on opposite side walls of the first housing for engaging with corresponding latching openings of the shield. Each latching member comprises a neck and a head. A recess is defined in a cavity formed in each support portion of the second housing for engaging with corresponding clasps. A V-shaped guiding cutout communicates with each latching opening and has a configuration flaring from the latching opening. The cutout has a width smaller than the diameter of the corresponding head. Thus, the shield can be easily and securely engaged with the first housing by fitting the necks into the corresponding latching openings through the corresponding guiding cutouts.
