An electrical connector includes an insulative housing having a first face on which a tongue plate is formed. Passageways are defined in the housing and are further defined by grooves formed on surfaces of the tongue plate for receiving and retaining contact elements therein. A shroud wall having three sections and a guide wall are formed on the first face of the housing and define a space therebetween for receiving a mating connector. The guide wall and the shroud wall have diverging inside faces for guiding a mating connector into the space. A shielding member having three sections is received in the space and supported by the sections of the shroud wall. The shielding member has a lower edge received in a slot defined in the housing and an outwardly bent top edge for guiding the insertion of the mating connector into the space and electrically engages with the mating connector for electrostatic discharge purposes. A rib is formed on the shielding member for enhancing electrical engagement with the mating connector. Barbs are formed on the shielding member for engaging with recesses defined in the housing to secure the shielding member in position. A notch having inwardly extending barbs is defined in the shielding member for receivingly engaging with a projection formed on the housing for more securely retaining the shielding member in position.
An electrical connector comprising;
An electrical connector comprising an insulative housing having first and second walls formed on a first face thereof, the first wall comprising a longitudinal section and two opposite lateral sections which, together with the second wall, define a space therebetween adapted to receive a mating connector, a plurality of passageways being defined in the housing for receiving and retaining contact elements therein and means for shielding the contact elements and electrically engaging with a grounding member of the mating connector, a shielding means comprising a central panel and two side panels received in the space and respectively supported by the longitudinal and lateral sections of the first wall;
An electrical connector adapted to mate with a complementary connector mounted on a circuit board, said connector comprising an insulative housing defining a shroud wall for receiving said complementary connector therein, said shroud including a longitudinal section and a pair of lateral sections extending from opposite sides thereof, a guide wall extending opposite to said longitudinal section with two notches by two sides thereof, a tongue plate extending in said shroud wall, a shielding member defining a U-shape configuration including a central section and two side sections respectively positioned inside said longitudinal section and said pair of lateral sections, each of said two side sections having a securing leg and a lower edge of said central section having a notch including a barb for securing the shielding member to the housing.
An connector assembly comprising:
