Abstract
A shielded connector assembly having a small number of parts and high resistance against prying forces exerted by another connector. When shield shells are mounted to shielded connector portions of an integrally formed insulative housing, side walls of the shield shells are positioned within paths of the housing. Latch tongue pieces of the side walls engage shoulders of engagement recesses of the housing, and latch tongue pieces of upper walls engage stopper portions. The shield shells are prevented from being pulled out from the housing. The side walls are supported so that movement in the direction perpendicular to partition walls is prevented due to its position between support surfaces of the partition walls and a base portion of the housing.
Claims22
A shielded connector assembly comprising:
- an insulative housing comprising a plurality of shielded connector portions spaced from one another at predetermined intervals;
- a plurality of shield shells for covering the shielded connector portions independently of each other;
- and
- contacts arranged at the shielded connector portions, and the insulative housing having wall portions positioned between adjacent shield shells for supporting the shield shells on both sides thereof.
A shielded connector assembly comprising:
- an integrally formed insulative housing comprising a plurality of shielded connector portions spaced from one another at predetermined intervals and divided by partition walls;
- a plurality of shield shells, each of said shield shells covering a respective one of said shielded connector portions, at least one of said shield shells supported on opposite sides by said partition walls and latched to said partition side walls;
- and
- contacts arranged at the shielded connector portions and located within said shield shells.
