ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR WITH METALLIC SHELL ENCLOSING AND SECURING MAGNET VIA WELDING
First Claim
1. An electrical connector comprising:
- an insulative housing forming a pair of longitudinal side walls and a pair of end walls to commonly form a mating cavity forwardly communicating with an exterior along a front-to-back direction;
two rows of contacts spaced from each other in a vertical direction perpendicular to the front-to-back direction and disposed in the housing with corresponding contacting sections extending into the mating cavity;
two rows of wires mechanically and electrically connected to the corresponding contacts, respectively; and
a metallic shell enclosing the housing and forming a pair of receiving cavities at two opposite ends of the housing along a longitudinal direction perpendicular to both the front-to-back direction and the vertical direction to respectively receive a pair of magnets therein;
whereineach magnet forms, in the vertical direction, opposite upper face and bottom face to intimate contact corresponding opposite upper plate and bottom plate of the shell, both the upper face and the lower face are smooth without recesses therein, and both the upper plate and the bottom plate are complete without openings therein;
whereinthe shell and the magnets are welded or soldered with each other.

Abstract
An electrical connector includes an insulative housing, a plurality of contacts retained in the housing, a metallic shell enclosing the housing, and the magnets retained by the shell. The housing includes a pair of longitudinal walls and a pair of end walls commonly forming a mating cavity. The contacts are disposed in the longitudinal walls with corresponding contacting sections exposed in the mating cavity. The shell forms receiving cavities to intimately receive the corresponding magnets, respectively. The magnets are secured to the shell by spot-welding so as to not only assure reliable securement therebetween but also keep the completeness of both the magnet and the shell for superior magnetic and shielding effect thereof.
