Receptacle with conductive cavity insertion piece inserted thereinto

A receptacle comprising:

• a housing defining a connector-receiving cavity for receiving a connector therein, the housing having a front face and the cavity having a mouth thereof at the front face of the housing;
• and
• a conductive exterior shield fitted over the housing and having a pair of generally opposing side faces, the pair of side faces each including a rear edge generally opposite the mouth of the cavity, and each including a slot at the rear edge thereof;
• a conductive cavity insertion piece inserted into the housing and comprising:
• an interior arm extending generally toward the mouth of the cavity and in communication with the cavity for conductively contacting an outer portion of the received connector;
• and
• a pair of wings, each wing fitted within a respective slot at the rear edge of a side face of the exterior shield, the pair of wings conductively coupling the arm to the exterior shield;
• and
• a back panel preventing the fitted wings from leaving the slots and thereby locking the inserted insertion piece within the housing.

A shielding arrangement for a receptacle having a housing defining a connector-receiving cavity for receiving a connector therein, the housing having a front face and the cavity having a mouth thereof at the front face of the housing, the shielding arrangement comprising:

• a conductive exterior shield for being fitted over the housing and having a pair of generally opposing side faces, the pair of side faces each including a rear edge generally opposite the mouth of the cavity, and each including a slot at the rear edge thereof which opens to such rear edge;
• and
• a conductive cavity insertion piece for being inserted into the housing and having:
• an interior arm for extending generally toward the mouth of the cavity and being in communication with the cavity for conductively contacting an outer portion of the received connector;
• and
• a pair of wings, each wing for being fitted within a respective open slot at the rear edge of a side face of the exterior shield, the pair of wings for conductively coupling the arm to the exterior shield.
