Screened electrical plug connector

A screened electrical plug connector for surface mounting on printed circuit boards having an insulating plug housing, in which electrical connection elements are arranged, which are provided for making contact with contacts of a complementary plug connector, with terminals for connection to printed conductors of a printed circuit board, at least one side of the plug housing being provided with a screening plate that has a contact edge for making contact with grounded printed conductors of a printed circuit board, the contact edge (6) having a plurality of cut-outs (15) intended to engage with screening contacts (14) soldered to the grounded printed conductors (13), the cut-outs being engageable with the screening contacts on one side thereof and the printed circuit board on the other side such that the contact edge is secured to the printed circuit board, and the contact edge (6) being connected to the remainder of the screening plate (2) by means of a spring-loaded cross-over area (16).

A screened electrical plug connector for surface mounting on printed circuit boards, having an insulating plug housing (1), in which electrical connection elements are arranged, which are provided for making contact with contacts of a complementary plug connector, with terminals for connection to printed conductors of a printed circuit board, wherein at least one side of the plug housing is provided with a screened plate (2) that has a contact edge (6) for making contact with grounded printed conductors (13) of a printed circuit board (12), characterized in that the screening plate (2) has a retaining edge (30;

• 32) opposite the contact edge (6), for attachment to the plug housing (1), and the screening plate (2) is locked to the plug housing (1) along the contact edge, the contact edge having a folded edge and cutouts (8) which engage locking hooks (10) in the plug housing such that the folded edge is locked to the plug housing.
