Patent attributes
An electrical connector has an insulating housing defining a top surface, a front surface and a rear surface opposite to the front surface. A plurality of terminals are mounted in the insulating housing, each has a contacting portion exceeding the top surface of the insulating housing. At least one of the contacting portions is adjacent to the rear surface. And a cover coupled with the insulating housing has a covering plate suspended over the top surface of the insulating housing. At least one anti-mismating portion corresponding to the terminal of which the contacting portion is adjacent to the rear surface, extends downwardly from the covering plate for being mounted on a portion of the top surface adjacent to the front surface. The anti-mismating portion is capable of interfering with the contacting portion of the terminal when the cover is mounted to the insulating housing in a contrary way.
