1. An electrical connector comprising:
- an insulative housing forming a mating cavity to forwardly communicate with an exterior in a front-to-back direction, and including opposite first and second surfaces in a vertical direction perpendicular to the front-to-back direction;
a plurality of contacts disposed in the housing with corresponding mating sections extending into the mating cavity;
a metallic shielding shell including a first shell and a second shell assemble together to respective cover the first surface and the second surface, the first shell including a first main part covering the first surface, and a folded part extending forwardly from a rear edge of the first main part, and a pair of first wings located at two opposite ends thereof in a transverse direction perpendicular to both the front-to-back direction and the vertical direction; and
a pair of magnets received within the first wings, respectively;
wherein a part of the folded part is intimately positioned on the first main part in a folded manner.

Abstract
An electrical connector includes an insulative housing and a metallic shielding shell enclosing the housing. The housing forms a mating cavity. The metallic shell includes a first shell having a main part attached upon the exterior surface of the housing, and a folded forwardly extending from a rear edge of the main part with a plurality of spring tangs for engagement with the enclosure of an electronic device.
