Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An electrical connector includes: an insulative housing having a top wall and a pair of side walls; and a substrate secured to the insulative housing to constitute a bottom wall of the insulative housing, the substrate having plural front conductive pads at an upper face thereof and plural rear conductive pads at a lower face thereof in electrical connection with the plural front conductive pads.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A connector device comprising a printed circuit board and a receptacle electrical connector mounted on the printed circuit board, the receptacle electrical connector comprising: an insulative housing having a top wall and a pair of side walls; and a substrate secured to the insulative housing to constitute a bottom wall of the insulative housing, the substrate having a plurality of front conductive pads at an upper face thereof and a plurality of rear conductive pads at a lower face thereof in electrical connection with the plurality of front conductive pads, wherein the insulative housing and the substrate define a mating chamber opening forwardly for receiving a mating plug connector. 2. The connector device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a pair of grooves are disposed on the insulative housing. 3. The connector device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein each of the pair of grooves has a first part at the top wall and a second part at a corresponding one of the pair of side walls. 4. The connector device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the second part of the groove has a horizontal extension. 5. The connector device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a metallic cover secured to the insulative housing and having a latching feature. 6. The connector device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the top wall of the insulative housing has a recessed portion to provide a space between the latching feature of the metallic cover and the top wall of the insulative housing.
