Patent attributes
An electrical connector (100) includes an insulated housing (1) defining a receiving passage (15), a number of terminals (2) received in the insulated housing and a metal shell (3) having a number of walls cooperatively defining a hollow (34) for receiving the insulated housing. The metal shell further has a front mating port (341) and at least one guiding member (35). The guiding member is formed on the inner surface of one wall of the metal shell and disposed in front of the insulated housing. The guiding member includes a guiding portion and a supporting portion joining to each other to form a guiding passage. The guiding passage opens towards the front mating port and is adapted for guiding a complementary connector into engagement with the electrical connector.
