Shielded electrical connector

A shielded electrical connector comprising:

• an insulating housing, plug receiving cavities in the housing to receive respective plug type connectors, shielding being provided by a conductive outer shell and a separate conductive second shell inside the outer shell, respective walls on the outer shell encircling the housing and encircling an open front end on the outer shell, and first spring fingers on said respective walls, the first spring fingers begin adjacent the open front end on the outer shell to engage respective mating plugs to be inserted inside the outer shell,
• said second shell being insertable into said housing from a rear face thereof, and first spring fingers on the second shell extending to proximate an open front end of the outer shell and extending into respective said plug receiving cavities to engage shields of respective plug type connectors to be inserted into the respective plug receiving cavities, and
• second spring fingers on the outer shell engaging the second shell to establish an electrical connection therebetween.

A shielded electrical connector comprising:

• an insulating housing defining multiple plug receiving cavities extending inwardly from a mating face, and electrical contacts having contact sections exposed inside said multiple plug receiving cavities,
• a conducting outer shell encircling front portions of the housing, and
• a separate conducting second shell insertable into said housing from a rear face thereof and affixed within said housing and engaging the outer shell, the second shell including at least one spring finger extending inside each of the plug receiving cavities to proximate a front face of the insulating housing to engage shields of plug type connectors upon receipt thereon in the plug receiving cavities.
