• an insulative housing comprising a pair of mating sections each defining a plurality of passageways and a protrusion having a front face defining a locating hole therein;
• a plurality of the contacts received in the passageways of the mating section of the insulative housing;
• a fastening member fixed to the protrusion and comprising a body section received in the locating hole of the insulative housing, the body section defining an inner-threaded hole;
• a shielding device shielding the housing, comprising a tab extending from a front end of the shielding device and positioned on the fastening member, a hole being defined in the tab and substantially aligned with the inner-threaded hole of the fastening member for extension of a bolt that extends through a hole defined in the panel and matingly engaging with the inner-threaded hole of the body section;
• wherein
• the insulative housing comprises a base section and said pair of mating sections extending from the base section, the protrusion extending from the base section and between the mating sections;
• wherein
• the shielding device comprises front shells surrounding each mating section and a rear shell enclosing the base section and engaging with the front shells.
