Abstract

An electrical connector (1) comprises conductive electrical contacts (3) within an insulating housing (2), and a conductive shield (40) encircling the housing (2); a latch (53) latching together portions (51,42) of the shield (40) to enclose the housing (2); and a projecting housing portion (37) impinged against the shield (40). The housing portion (37) biases the housing (2) against the shield (40) to immobilize the housing (2) at a desired position relative to the shield (40).
