10. An electrical connector assembly comprising:
-
a housing defining a receiving room forwardly communicating with an exterior along a front-to-back direction; a printed circuit board disposed in the receiving room; a cable connected to a rear end of the printed circuit board; a plurality of slits formed in an exterior face of the housing at different inner and outer regions; a protrusion formed on the exterior face around the slit at the outer region; and a metallic gasket surrounding the housing and defining a base with a plurality of spring tangs unitarily extending outwardly rearwardly therefrom in a cantilevered manner;
whereina front edge of the base defines inserting structures received in the corresponding slits at said different inner and outer regions, respectively, so as to prevent backward flipping thereof;
whereinthe base at the outer region defines a hole receiving said protrusion.
