ABSTRACT:
A plug-receiving connector is provided, which includes a molded plastic housing (12) for mounting on a circuit board, which minimizes stress on the plastic housing in mounting it and in latching to a mating plug. A sheet metal bracket (14) has a top plate part (46) that lies over the top wall (28) of the plastic housing and has a pair of depending sheet metal parts (47, 48, 58, 59) at each of the opposite sides of the top plate part. One of the depending sheet metal parts of each pair is a holding tab (58, 59) that extends through a slit (31, 32) in the plastic housing top wall, through a plug-receiving cavity (16) formed by the housing, and into a slit (33, 34) in a plastic housing bottom wall (29). Each of the second depending sheet metal parts comprises a sheet metal side (47, 48) that lies closely outside a corresponding plastic housing side wall (26, 27), so each plastic housing side wall is sandwiched between a sheet metal holding tab and a sheet metal side. Each sheet metal side has a lower end holding a horizontally-extending mount tab (51, 52) that is mounted on the circuit board as by soldering it thereto.
