Claims

1. An electrical connector comprising: an insulative housing comprising plurality of passageways therein;a plurality of electrical terminals received in the housing;a cover mounted on the housing;wherein the cover includes a number of deformable members extending from an inner sidewall thereof.

2. The electrical connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cover further comprises a plurality of engaging elements.

3. The electrical connector as claimed in claim 1, the cover further defines a pair of locating portion projected on two ends thereof and the housing defines a pair of projections, and the locating portions engage with the projections.

4. The electrical connector as claimed in claim 3, wherein the projection each defines an arched slant surface on a lateral side thereof.

5. The electrical connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the deformable members are spatially arranged on two opposite sidewalls and are of as high as a half of the sidewalls thereof.

6. The electrical connector as claimed in claim 5, wherein the deformable members abut against an upper surface and when the electrical connector assembled, the terminals do not contact with the cover.

7. The electrical connector as claimed in claim 6, further comprising an anchoring hook defining a securing portion and a trip portion.

8. The electrical connector as claimed in claim 7, wherein the trip portion is U-shaped.

9. An electrical connector comprising: an insulative housing comprising plurality of passageways thereon;a plurality of electrical terminals received in the housing;a cover mounted on the housing;wherein the cover includes a pair of locating portion projected on two ends thereof and the housing defines a pair projections, and the locating portions engage with the projections.

10. An electrical connector comprising: an insulative housing comprising plurality of passageways thereon and a pair of recess indented in bottom surface thereof;a plurality of electrical terminals received in the housing;a cover mounted on the housing comprising a number of deformable member extending from a bottom surface thereof with a smaller length than sidewalls of the housing;an anchoring hook received in the recess of the housing comprising a securing portion and a trip portion.

11. The electrical connector as claimed in claim 10, wherein the cover further comprises a number of engaging elements extending from a bottom surface of the housing for engaging with the housing.

12. The electrical connector as claimed in claim 10, the cover further defines a pair of locating portion projected on two ends thereof and the housing defines a pair of projections, and the locating portions engage with the projections.
