Abstract

A conductive shield is mounted in a groove formed in the outer surface of a connector housing. The end walls of the housing are undercut. The edges of the shield extend into the recesses formed by the undercut endwalls of the groove so that the shield is retained in the groove. An axially extending slot intersects the groove and recesses so that the shield may be inserted into the groove through the axially extending slot in the form of an elongated strip.
