Combination connector

Abstract

In order to save space and reduce the number of parts needed to mount a plurality of connector types on a circuit board, the different connector type share a common molded housing, and at least two of the connector types share a common shield which includes an integral board lock and which can also be arranged to facilitate mounting filter components in one, or more of the connector types. The connector types may include a BNC coaxial cable connector, a modular phone jack connector, and a multiple pin D-sub connector, with the BNC and modular jack connector sharing the common shield.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
