Abstract
An electrical connector includes an insulative housing, a number of mating contacts fixed in the insulative housing and a shell covering the insulative housing. The insulative housing includes a base portion and a mating portion extending from the base portion. The base portion includes a mounting surface perpendicular to the mating portion. The base portion defines a mounting slot recessed from the mounting surface. The base portion includes two rows of contact receiving slots located at two sides of the mounting slot. The contact receiving slot includes an inner surface and two opposite side surfaces. The mating contact is inserted into the contact receiving slot and interfered with the side surfaces. The electrical connector also includes a fixing member mounted into the mounting slot. The fixing member has a number of fixing projections to engage with two rows of contacts, respectively.
