Abstract

A shielded electrical connector is shown which includes an insulating housing having electrical terminals for interconnection to a printed circuit board and for interconnection to a similar electrical connector. The shield member is drawn to include a shroud which covers a shroud on the insulative housing. The insulative housing includes a mounting flange including two flange ends which are profiled for receiving two U-shaped mounting clips. The U-shaped clips include two legs extending from a portion of the clip for electrical connection to a printed circuit board grounding pad. The clip also includes a threaded portion which can mount the connector to a panel and which is used for commoning the shield to the U-shaped clip.
