Abstract text

An electrical connector (100) mounted on a printed circuit board (1) includes a housing unit (2), an outer shield (4) enclosing the housing unit, and a connecting assembly (5) connecting the outer shield to the printed circuit board. The connecting assembly has a supporting member (51), a conductive member (50) extending through the supporting member and a washer (52). The supporting member has a head (501) and a body (502) surrounded by the supporting member (51). The washer locks with the body and resists against an upper surface of the printed circuit board for grounding.
