A shielded connector comprising:
- a metal housing configured by first, second, third and fourth sidewalls defining a receiving space therebetween;
- first and second insulating housings securely attached to the first and third sidewalls of the metal housing, respectively;
- a plurality of contacts securely attached to the insulating housings, and each having a tail portion extending away from insulating housing, and a contact engaging portion extending from the insulating housing toward a center of the receiving space of the metal housing;
- first and second metal shields assembled to the first and second insulating housings;
- and
- a fastening means extending from the metal shield, through the corresponding insulating housing and anchored to the corresponding one of said first and third sidewalls of the metal housing, respectively.
An electrical connector comprising:
- a metallic shield defining a circumferential wall unit formed by a plurality of side walls commonly surrounding a central receiving cavity;
- at least one contact module located inside the circumferential wall and including a plurality of contacts embedded within an insulator;
- and
- a metallic shell including a vertical plate cooperating with selected one of said side walls to sandwich the contact module therebetween;
