Referring to the first to eighth embodiments, the present invention is an electrical connector 100 including an insulative housing 101 and a mask housing that is wrapped around the insulative housing 101. The insulative housing 101 has a front end surface 1011, and a plurality of outer side surfaces perpendicular to the front end surface 1011 and rearwardly opened from the front end surface 1011 for receiving The receiving groove 1014 of the docking connector (not shown) includes a top surface 1012 and opposite side surfaces 1013. The mask housing includes a front iron shell 102 and a rear iron shell 103, and the front iron shell 102 is provided with a front end wall 1021 and an outer side wall respectively covering the front end surface 1011 and the outer side surface, and the outer side wall includes a top wall The top wall 1023 and the opposite side walls 1024 are formed by bending the front end wall 1021. The top wall 1023 is provided with a first latching portion 1041 that is fastened to the outer side of the upper edge of the opposite side walls 1024. The opposite sidewalls 1024 are provided with a second latching portion 1042. The mask housing further includes a rear iron shell 103 that is forwardly fastened to the opposite side walls 1024, and the rear iron shell 103 is provided with a rear end wall 1031 and a first bent forward from the two sides of the rear end wall 1031. The third latching portion 1043 is latched and held by the second latching portion 1042 of the opposite sidewalls 1024, and the first latching portion 1041 of the top wall 1023 is also latched to the opposite side. A second latching portion 1042 on the two side walls 1024. The front iron shell 102 further includes a fitting portion 1022 which is disposed at a front end thereof and protrudes outwardly from the outer side wall for fitting with the panel 200 mounted on the electrical connector 100 in the front-rear direction. The front end wall 1021 The outer side wall and the bonding portion 1022 are integrally formed by bending from the same material strip, and the bonding portion 1022 extends perpendicular to the outer side wall and is in the same plane as the front end wall 1021.

In summary, the new model has indeed met the requirements of the new patent, and has filed a patent application in accordance with the law. However, the above-mentioned ones are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and those skilled in the art will be able to make equivalent modifications or changes in accordance with the spirit of the present invention.
