1. An electrical connector assembly, comprising:
an electrical connector comprising an insulating body and a plurality of conductive terminals fixed to the insulating body, the insulating body defining a slot, each conductive terminal comprising an elastic contact portion and an abutting portion, the elastic contact portions of the conductive terminals protruding into the slot for mating with a mating connector, some of the abutting portions of the conductive terminals being adapted for electrically connecting with a circuit board, and some of the abutting portions of the conductive terminals being connected with a cable; and
a metal casing shielding the electrical connector, the metal casing defining a receiving cavity in communication with the slot, the receiving cavity being located at a front end of the slot, and the slot and the receiving cavity being adapted for jointly receiving the mating connector;
wherein the circuit board comprises a mounting hole and a conical surface exposed to the mounting hole;
wherein the metal casing comprises a locking tab inserted into the mounting hole, the locking tab comprises a hook portion locking with the conical surface in order to prevent the locking tab from being detaching from the circuit board;
wherein the mounting hole comprises a first mounting hole, a second mounting hole and a third mounting hole connected between the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole, the first mounting hole is larger in diameter than the second mounting hole, the conical surface encloses the third mounting hole; and
wherein the locking tab is inserted into the first mounting hole, the second mounting hole and the third mounting hole.
