Shielding shell

A shielding shell for at least partially surrounding signal terminals, the shielding shell comprising:

• a first side wall;
• a second side wall;
• and
• a third side wall, the second side wall connecting the first side wall and the third side wall, and the first side wall and the third side wall are disposed face to face;
• wherein an end of at least one of the first side wall, the second side wall and the third side wall comprises a deflection portion which is bent inwardly, and the deflection portion is adapted to guide insertion of the shielding shell into a mating connector;
• wherein the shielding shell further comprises a first extension piece protruding beyond the first side wall, a pair of first slots located on both sides of the first extension piece, a second extension piece protruding beyond the third side wall, and a pair of second slots located on both sides of the second extension piece;
• wherein the first extension piece and the second extension piece are adapted for contacting ground terminals;
• and
• wherein the first slots and the second slots are adapted to fix metal shields, and make the shielding shell be in contact with the metal shields.

A shielding shell for at least partially surrounding signal terminals, the shielding shell comprising:

• a first side wall located in a first plane;
• a second side wall located in a second plane;
• a third side wall located in a third plane;
• and
• a fourth side wall located in a fourth plane;
• wherein the first plane is parallel the third plane, and the second plane is parallel to the fourth plane;
• the first side wall, the second side wall, the third side wall and the fourth side wall are connected in sequence in a circumferential direction so as to form a hollow portion;
• the hollow portion defines a receiving cavity in which the signal terminals at least partially reside;
• the shielding shell further comprises at least one deflection portion which is bent inwardly from an end of at least one of the first side wall, the second side wall, the third side wall and the fourth side wall;
• the at least one deflection portion is configured to guide insertion of the shielding shell into a mating connector.
