An electrical connector includes an insulative housing, a pair of terminals and a metallic shell retained in the insulative housing. The insulative housing includes a mating portion defining a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface and a front surface connecting the first and second surfaces. A receiving space formed in the mating portion and penetrating through the front surface. The terminals include contact portions extending into the receiving space. The metallic shell includes a first wall extending forwardly, an end wall bending downwardly from a front end of the first wall and a second wall bending rearwardly from a bottom end of the end wall. The first and second walls cover the first and second surfaces of the mating portion respectively. The end wall covers the front surface and defines an opening communicating with the receiving space.

13. An electrical connector assembly comprising:
a first connector including:
an insulative housing defining, in a front-to-back direction, a rear body potion, and a front mating portion with a receiving space therein under condition that the body portion is dimensioned larger than the mating portion in a transverse direction perpendicular to said front-to-back direction;
a plurality of first contacts disposed in the housing;
a metallic shell snugly enclosing the housing and covering most exterior surfaces of the housing; wherein
said shell unitarily defines a pair of forward resilient latches which primarily lie in a plane defined by a top wall of the shell and are deflectable along the transverse direction in said plane during mating.
8. An electrical connector assembly comprising:
a first electrical connector defining a mating port with an opening forwards receiving room configured by a first insulating housing and a first metallic shell and comprising a pair of first terminals with contacting portions exposing to the receiving room;
a second electrical connector mateable with the first electrical connector, the second electrical connector defining a tongue portion enclosing by a second metallic shell and comprising a pair of second terminals with contacting portions located at opposite ends of the tongue portion;
wherein the two pairs of contacting portions contact with each other when the tongue portion is inserted in the receiving room and the second metallic shell encloses the mating port of the first electrical connector;
wherein the contacting portions of the first and the second terminals are disposed perpendicular to the tongue portion.
1. An electrical connector comprising:
an insulative housing comprising a mating portion extending forwardly in a front-to-back direction and defining a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface and a front surface connecting the first and second surfaces, a receiving space formed in the mating portion and penetrating through the front surface;
a pair of terminals comprising contact portions extending into the receiving space; and
a metallic shell comprising a first wall extending forwardly, an end wall extending downwardly from a front end of the first wall and a second wall extending rearwardly from a bottom end of the end wall, the first and second walls covering the first and second surfaces of the mating portion respectively, the end wall covering the front surface and defining an opening communicating with the receiving space;
wherein the metallic shell further comprises a pair of grounding portions extending rearwardly from two sides of the end wall and located in a vertical plane perpendicular to the front-to-back direction, and said grounding portions deform in a transverse direction perpendicular to the front-to-back direction and the vertical plane when the electrical connector mates with a mating connector.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an electrical connector, and more particularly to a power electrical connector with improved metallic shell.
2. Description of Related Art
U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2010/0093222 published on Apr. 15, 2010 discloses an electrical connector including an insulative housing, a plurality of terminals and a metallic shell enclosing the insulative housing. The metallic shell is stamped as a frame-shaped configuration and comprises two ends coupled to each other by riveting. The manufacturing method of the metallic shell is complicated.
Hence, an improved electrical connector with an improved metallic shell are needed to solve the above problem.
The present invention provides an electrical connector including an insulative housing, a pair of terminals and a metallic shell retained in the insulative housing. The insulative housing includes a mating portion defining a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface and a front surface connecting the first and second surfaces. A receiving space formed in the mating portion and penetrating through the front surface. The terminals include contact portions extending into the receiving space. The metallic shell includes a first wall extending forwardly, an end wall bending downwardly from a front end of the first wall and a second wall bending rearwardly from a bottom end of the end wall. The first and second walls cover the first and second surfaces of the mating portion respectively. The end wall covers the front surface and defines an opening communicating with the receiving space.
The foregoing has outlined rather broadly the features and technical advantages of the present invention in order that the detailed description of the invention that follows may be better understood. Additional features and advantages of the invention will be described hereinafter which form the subject of the claims of the invention.
For a more complete understanding of the present invention, and the advantages thereof, reference is now made to the following descriptions taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
