Abstract
Abstract An electrical connector having a shielding shell. The shielding shell disposed about an insulating housing mounted on a circuit board. The shielding shell including a first shell and a second shell. The first shell having a first side wall. The first side wall having a first locking member. The second shell having a second side wall. The second side wall having a second locking member corresponding to the first locking member. When the second locking member engages the first locking member the first side wall overlaps with the second side wall to prevent movement of the second shell in a vertical and horizontal direction in relation to the first shell.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
154 words
An electrical connector mounted on a circuit board, comprising: an insulating housing having contacts; a shielding shell disposed about the housing, the shielding shell including a first shell and a second shell; the first shell having a first side wall, the first side wall having a first locking member; a leg extending from the first side wall, the leg being soldered to the circuit board; and the second shell having a second side wall, the second side wall having a second locking member corresponding to the first locking member, the second locking member engages the first locking member so that the first side wall overlaps with the second side wall and the first side wall is disposed on an outer surface of the second side wall when the first and second locking members are engaged to prevent movement of the second shell in a vertical and horizontal direction in relation to the first shell.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
154 words
An electrical connector mounted on a circuit board, comprising: an insulating housing having contacts; a shielding shell disposed about the housing, the shielding shell including a first shell and a second shell; the first shell having a first side wall, the first side wall having a first locking member; a leg extending from the first side wall, the leg being soldered to the circuit board; and the second shell having a second side wall, the second side wall having a second locking member corresponding to the first locking member, the second locking member engages the first locking member so that the first side wall overlaps with the second side wall and the first side wall is disposed on an outer surface of the second side wall when the first and second locking members are engaged to prevent movement of the second shell in a vertical and horizontal direction in relation to the first shell.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
The electrical connector of claim 1 , wherein the first locking member is an engagement aperture and the second locking member is a latch arm.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
The electrical connector of claim 1 , wherein the first shell is disposed on a top surface of the housing and the second shell is disposed on a bottom surface of the housing.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
28 words
The electrical connector of claim 1 , wherein the leg extends from a bottom surface of the first side wall and is substantially perpendicular to the circuit board.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
18 words
The electrical connector of claim 4 , wherein the leg is integrally formed with the first side wall.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
25 words
The electrical connector of claim 1 , further comprising grounding tongues extending from the shielding shell that contact a shielding shell of a mating connector.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
32 words
The electrical connector of claim 1 , wherein the shielding shell includes an opening for receiving a locking arm of a mating connector to attach the mating connector to the electrical connector.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
34 words
The electrical connector of claim 1 , wherein the first and second shells include engagement pieces that are press-fit into holes in the housing to fix the first and second shells to the housing.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
24 words
The electrical connector of claim 1 , further comprising fixing portions extending from the shielding shell that are surface mounted to the circuit board.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
130 words
A shielding shell for an electrical connector comprising: a first shell having a first shell end, the first shell end having a first locking member; a leg extending from the first side wall for soldering to the circuit board; and a second shell having a second shell end, the second shell end having a second locking member corresponding to the first locking member, the second locking member engages the first locking member so that the first shell end overlaps with the second shell end and the first shell end is disposed on an outer surface of the second shell end when the first and second locking members are engaged to prevent movement of the second shell end in a vertical or horizontal direction in relation to the first shell end.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
130 words
A shielding shell for an electrical connector comprising: a first shell having a first shell end, the first shell end having a first locking member; a leg extending from the first side wall for soldering to the circuit board; and a second shell having a second shell end, the second shell end having a second locking member corresponding to the first locking member, the second locking member engages the first locking member so that the first shell end overlaps with the second shell end and the first shell end is disposed on an outer surface of the second shell end when the first and second locking members are engaged to prevent movement of the second shell end in a vertical or horizontal direction in relation to the first shell end.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
25 words
The shielding shell of claim 10 , wherein the first locking member is an engagement aperture and the second locking member is a latch arm.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
28 words
The shielding shell of claim 10 , wherein the leg extends from a bottom surface of the first shell end and extends substantially perpendicular to the circuit board.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
18 words
