Shielded electrical connector system

A shielded electrical connector, comprising:

• a dielectric housing insertable into an opening a chassis in an insertion direction;
• a plurality of terminals mounted on the housing;
• and
• a conductive shield mounted substantially about the connector housing to protect the connector against electromagnetic interference and including at least one side wall having a contact beam projecting outwardly therefrom and extending back over the side wall to apply a normal force to the chassis adjacent said opening in a direction generally perpendicular to said insertion direction.

A shielded electrical connector system, comprising:

• a conductive chassis having an opening;
• and
• an electrical connector insertable into the opening in the chassis in an insertion direction, the connector including
• a dielectric housing mounting a plurality of terminals, and
• a conductive shield mounted substantially about the connector housing to protect the connector against electromagnetic interference and including at least one side wall having a contact beam projecting outwardly therefrom and formed to apply a normal force to a surface of the chassis adjacent said opening in a direction generally perpendicular to said insertion direction.
