Abstract
An electrical connector comprises an insulative housing, a plurality of conductive terminals secured in the insulative housing, a metal shell shielding around the insulative housing and a magnetic element retained in the metal shell. The metal shell forms an accommodating room for receiving the magnetic element. The magnetic element has an outer surface and a recess defined on the outer surface. The metal shell has a retaining arm corresponding to the recess. The design of the recess and the retaining arm make a better retaining effectivity for the electrical connector.

15. An electrical connector comprising:
-
an elongated insulative housing extending along a lengthwise direction and defining a mating port exposed forwardly toward an exterior along a front-to-back direction perpendicular to said lengthwise direction, and located behind a front face lying in a plane oblique to said front-to-back direction; a plurality of contacts disposed in the housing with contacting sections exposed in the mating port;
a metallic shell enclosing said housing with an opening exposing said mating port forwardly; anda pair of magnets located by two opposite ends of the mating port in said lengthwise direction;
whereineach of said magnets forms a front surface parallel to said front face. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
