Abstract (en)
A one-piece metal shield (12) for a surface mounted connector (10) having a substantially rectangular body (14) from which a plug portion (16) projects forwardly, is in the form of a rectangular box-like structure having a top wall (24) side walls (26) and a front wall (28). The front wall (28) has a circular opening (30) from the edge (32) of which spring fingers (34) project inwardly of the shield (12) for engaging the shielding (19) of a shielded electrical socket inserted through the opening (30) to mate with the plug portion (16). The shield (12) is secured to the body (14) by means of flanges (48 and 50) thereon which engage with a snap action in grooves in the body (14). At least the side walls (26) have mounting legs (54) for securing the shield (12) and thus the body (14) to a substrate. A latching finger (180) shorter than a spring finger (34), projects from edge of opening (30) for latching behind a depressible protuberance (90) on a complementary connector (20). During mating, the protuberance (90) displaces the latching finger (180) which resiles behind protuberance (90) when mating is completed.
