Abstract
The present invention relates to an electrical connector comprising a shielding frame having a casing portion, a U-shaped portion and a flat-plate portion which are integrally formed. The casing portion covers the contacts of contact pieces. The U-shaped portion covers the top surface and left-hand and right-hand lateral sides of the main body of a contact piece supporting member which houses the terminal portions of the contact pieces. The flat-plate portion covers the back side of the main body of the contact piece supporting member. Accordingly, the frame substantially perfectly surrounds the contact pieces, thus producing a shielding effect. Except for the bottom of the connector, the contact pieces may be generally surrounded by merely turning the flat-plate portion at the boundary thereof with respect to the U-shaped portion, after the contact piece supporting member assembled with the contact pieces has been assembled with the U-shaped portion and the casing portion.
