Electrical connectors with separated shields

Claim 2

An electrical connector, comprising: an insulative housing comprising a top wall, a bottom wall, a pair of opposite left and right walls connecting the top wall and the bottom wall that define a receiving space, the insulative housing comprising a tongue extending into the receiving space; a plurality of contacts retained in the insulative housing, each contact comprising a contact portion disposed on the tongue; a shield means covering the insulative housing, the shield means comprising a first shield with engaging arms extending into the receiving space, and a second shield being separated from the first shield and without said engaging arms extending into the receiving space, the first shield and the second shield being made of different materials; wherein the first shield comprises an upper shield covering the top wall of the insulative housing, and a shield blade covering the bottom wall and parallel to the tongue, and wherein the upper shield and the shield blade each comprises a pair of engaging arms extending into the receiving space; wherein the shield blade comprises a plurality of agnails interfering with the insulative housing.

Claim 3

The electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein the elasticity of the first shield is better than that of the second shield.

Claim 4

The electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein the first shield also has a pair of opposite side faces covering the left and right walls of the insulative housing.

Claim 5

The electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein the width of the shield blade is essentially equal to the width of the receiving space.

Claim 6

The electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein the second shield comprises a lower shield engaging with the upper shield and the shield blade.

Claim 7

The electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein the insulative housing has two supporting post extending downwardly and wherein a receiving cavity is formed therebetween for setting a second connector.

Claim 8

The electrical connector according to claim 6 , wherein a depressor is formed unitarily with the insulative housing between the receiving space and the receiving cavity.

Claim 9

An electrical connector, comprising: an insulative housing comprising a top wall, a bottom wall, and a pair of opposite left and right walls connecting the top wall and the bottom wall that define a receiving space, the insulative housing comprising a tongue extending into the receiving space; a plurality of contacts retained in the insulative housing, each contact comprising a plurality of contact portions disposed on the tongue; an upper shield covering the top wall of the insulative housing; a lower shield attached to the upper shield; and a shield blade covering the bottom wall of the insulative housing and comprising a plurality of resisting portions abutting against the lower shield; wherein the shield blade comprises a flange overlapped with the lower shield and the resisting portions are arranged on the flange; wherein the resisting portions comprise a plurality of tabs abutting against the lower shield; wherein the resisting portions comprise a plurality of dimples abutting against the lower shield; wherein the shield blade comprises a plurality of agnail interfering with the insulative housing.

Claim 10

An electrical connector, comprising: an insulative housing comprising a top wall, a bottom wall, and a pair of opposite left and right walls connecting the top wall and the bottom wall that define a receiving space, the insulative housing comprising a tongue extending into the receiving space; a plurality of contacts retained in the insulative housing, each contact comprising a plurality of contact portions disposed on the tongue; an upper shield covering the top wall of the insulative housing; a lower shield attached to the upper shield; and a shield blade covering the bottom wall of the insulative housing and comprising a plurality of resisting portions abutting against the lower shield; wherein the shield blade comprises a flange overlapped with the lower shield and the resisting portions are arranged on the flange; wherein the resisting portions comprise a plurality of tabs abutting against the lower shield; wherein the resisting portions comprise a plurality of dimples abutting against the lower shield; wherein the shield blade comprises a plurality of agnail interfering with the insulative housing.

Claim 11

An electrical connector comprising: an insulative housing comprising a top wall, a bottom wall, a pair of opposite left and right walls connecting the top wall and the bottom wall and commonly defining a receiving space, the insulative housing comprising a tongue extending into the receiving space; a receiving cavity formed under the bottom wall so as to raise up the receiving space; a plurality of contacts retained in the insulative housing, each contact comprising a contact portion disposed on the tongue; a shield blade unit covering the bottom wall; a bottom cover having two opposite plates covering the bottom face of each of the left and right walls and an inner face of each of the left and right walls, said inner face directly facing said receiving cavity so as to assure said receiving cavity is shielded on at least three sides thereof by said shield blade and said two opposite plates of the bottom cover; wherein said shield blade unit and said bottom cover are discrete from each other; wherein said bottom cover further includes a portion linking said two opposite plates together and covering another side of said receiving cavity; wherein said shield blade unit and said bottom cover commonly form in a cross-sectional vies and upside-down pan.

Claim 12

An electrical connector comprising: an insulative housing comprising a top wall, a bottom wall, a pair of opposite left and right walls connecting the top wall and the bottom wall and commonly defining a receiving space, the insulative housing comprising a tongue extending into the receiving space; a receiving cavity formed under the bottom wall so as to raise up the receiving space; a plurality of contacts retained in the insulative housing, each contact comprising a contact portion disposed on the tongue; a shield blade unit covering the bottom wall; a bottom cover having two opposite plates covering the bottom face of each of the left and right walls and an inner face of each of the left and right walls, said inner face directly facing said receiving cavity so as to assure said receiving cavity is shielded on at least three sides thereof by said shield blade and said two opposite plates of the bottom cover; wherein said shield blade unit and said bottom cover are discrete from each other; wherein said bottom cover further includes a portion linking said two opposite plates together and covering another side of said receiving cavity; wherein said shield blade unit and said bottom cover commonly form in a cross-sectional vies and upside-down pan.
