Abstract
An electrical connector for mounting to a printed circuit board (PCB) includes a dielectric housing (3) having a mating portion (31) and a mounting portion (32), a plurality of terminals (4) received in the housing, and a shell (2) shielding the housing including a first shielding (21) surrounding the mating portion and a second shielding (22) engaging with the mounting portion. The second shielding is electrical connected with the first shielding and has an elongated shielding plate (221) attached to a front surface of the mounting portion and a pair of holding legs extending from two ends of the shielding plates, the holding legs (22a) respectively attaching to two side surfaces of the mounting portion and extending downwardly.

An electrical connector for mounting to a printed circuit board (PCB) comprising:
- an elongated dielectric housing including a mating portion and a mounting portion;
- a plurality of terminals received in the housing;
- and
- a shell including a first shielding surrounding the mating portion and a second shielding engaging with the mounting portion, the second shielding having an elongated shielding plate attached to a front surface of the mounting portion and a pair of holding legs extending from two ends of the shielding plates, the holding legs respectively attaching to two side surfaces of the mounting portion and extending downwardly, an upper edge of the second shielding bending slightly and abutting against a rear edge of the first shielding.
A high rise connector comprising:
- an insulative housing including a vertical mounting portion and a horizontal mating portion with therein a cavity on a top portion of said mounting portion;
- a plurality of terminals each with a contact portion extending into the mating portion and a tail portion extending along the mounting portion;
- a first metal shield enclosing the mating portion except the cavity;
- a second metal shield including an elongated plate covering a front face of said mounting portion, and a pair of board locks extending downwardly around two opposite ends of said plate;
- and
- means around said two opposite ends of the plate for mechanically and electrically connecting said first shield and said second shield.
An electrical connector comprising:
- an insulative housing with a plurality of contacts therein;
- a first shield defining a circumferential wall with locking tabs extending rearward from said circumferential wall and latchably engaged with the housing;
- and
- a second shield defining an elongated plate with a similar longitudinal dimension with the circumferential wall, a pair of board locks downwardly extending around two opposite ends of said plate, and a pair of pads upwardly extending around said two opposite ends;
- wherein
- said pair of pads are sandwiched between the corresponding locking tabs and the housing.
