A strap connector includes an insulating body, a number of conductive terminals, a movable component, an elastic member and a pull strap. The insulating body includes a main body portion having a first end wall and a second end wall. The movable component includes a first locking protrusion protruding beyond the first end wall. The pull strap is connected with the movable component. The pull strap is configured to drive the movable component to move in a moving direction. The strap connector includes a second locking protrusion protruding beyond the second end wall. The first locking protrusion and the second locking protrusion are adapted to lock with locking holes of a mating connector, thereby improving the mating retention force when mating with the mating connector. The present disclosure also discloses a strap connector assembly having the strap connector.

A method of manufacturing an electrical connector coupled to a counterpart connector is disclosed. The method includes: (a) disposing a plurality of signal terminals; (b) forming a first mold part to support the signal terminals through primary insert molding, the first mold part being formed to have a protrusion at one end thereof in a longitudinal direction of the electrical connector and a first groove at the other end thereof in the longitudinal direction of the electrical connector; (c) placing a fitting beside the first mold part; and (d) forming a second mold part to support the first mold part and the fitting through secondary insert molding, the second mold part being formed to surround the protrusion of the first mold part while filling the first groove.

A shielding housing structure of an electric connector includes an insulating body including a first terminal slot for insertion of a first terminal set, a second terminal slot for insertion of a second terminal set, a socket for insertion of a preset board; a shielding housing having an accommodation space assembled with a top side of the insulating body, and top holes and lateral holes formed thereon, and an insertion hole formed on upper edges of lateral hole; and a movable cover having a top covering plate having top openings, and a side covering plate having lateral openings. The top covering plate is plugged into the insertion hole, and can be slid to a first position to form thermal convection ventilation holes on the shielding housing structure, or the top covering plate can be slid to a second position to form an enclosing status of the shielding housing.
