ABSTRACT:
A USB connector includes a plug comprising an insulative member, a mating member, a first conductor assembly, two elongate flexible members, a metal case member comprising inner and outer pieces, and a plastic housing for enclosing the case member and comprising upper and lower shells; and a jack comprising a shield shell, an insulative unit, and a second conductor assembly. The flexible long member includes a U-shaped member formed by bending its one end, a claw at the other long end, a toothed member at one end, a protuberance proximate the U-shaped member opposite the toothed member, and a flexible arm extended between the claw and the protuberance. Inserting the arms through the insulative member will sandwich either claw between a latch and the shield shell, rest the arms on grooves, fasten the protuberances in slots, and fasten the toothed members in tunnels for assembling a main portion of the plug.
