ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes a housing enclosed by an EMI shield having fastening devices integrally extending downward therefrom. Each fastening device has a substantially hour-glass shape with an opening defined therethrough thereby forming two resilient side portions. The fastening devices are inserted through corresponding holes defined in the PCB whereby a diagonal section and an upper protrusion of each side portion are positioned above the PCB, a curved section of each side portion abuts against an inner surface of the hole of the PCB, and a lower protrusion of each side portion and a horizontal section of the fastening device are positioned below the PCB thereby ensuring that the connector is stably mounted thereon.
