This creation relates to an electrical connector, and in particular to a thinned receptacle connector (1) that can be maintained horizontally.

With the advancement of the information electronics industry, portable electronic devices are becoming more and more popular. Some portable electronic devices, such as the commonly known flash drive, thumb USB disk, etc., these electronic devices are usually connected to the host end (such as a personal computer or a notebook computer) through a specific data transmission interface for data transmission, which is The Serial Serial Bus (USB) interface is the most common. Therefore, many portable electronic devices adopt USB as a transmission interface, and the advantage is that the use of USB as a transmission interface can have greater compatibility with current computer systems.

Please refer to the first figure, which is a schematic diagram of the use of the conventional USB connector; the conventional USB socket connector 1 and the USB plug connector 2 respectively have a metal shielding body 3, 4 and are respectively respectively disposed on the metal shielding body 3 4, a terminal assembly 5, 6 is provided, wherein the USB socket connector 1 and the USB plug connector 2 are respectively disposed on the metal shielding bodies 3, 4 for the purpose of achieving the limit and not being easy to loosen.

When the two are inserted, the USB plug connector 1 is inserted into the USB socket connector 2, and the elastic arms 7 extend into the frame ports 8. And achieve the purpose of limiting the USB plug connector 2.

However, since the elastic arms 7 are attached to the metal shielding body 3 of the USB receptacle connector 1, the USB plug connector 2 is inserted into the USB receptacle connector 1, and the USB plug connector 2 is inserted. The metal shielding body 4 first pushes the elastic arms 7 to displace the elastic arms 7 outwardly to the metal shielding body 3 of the USB receptacle connector 1, and after the USB plug connector 2 is inserted into the positioning, The elastic arms 7 will be trapped in the frame ports 8. The USB socket connector 1 is conventionally capable of reducing the overall height of the metal shielding body 3, and is still not thinned. 7 will be outwardly displaced to the outside of the metal shielding body 3, and the conventional USB socket connector is installed. The electronic device (not shown) of 1 must also reserve a space for the displacement and expansion of the elastic arms 7, so that the conventional electronic device is also limited to reduce the overall thickness, thereby applying the USB socket connector 1. The trend toward thinning portable electronic devices has been limited.

In view of this, it is indeed necessary to improve the structure of the prior art USB socket connector to solve the above drawbacks.
