Abstract
The invention concerns a connector of the shielded type comprising a socket (1) attached to a printed circuit board (CI) and a plug (7) designed to be mechanically and electrically coupled to socket (1). One wall of socket (1) is covered with a shielding (5) of electrically conductive material. This shielding (5) is extended on its front part by projections (52) folded back on themselves so as to form a spring, these springs emerging inside socket (1) and exerting a pushing force on plug (7) along a direction orthogonal to the direction of insertion of the plug into the socket, so as to establish a galvanic contact with shielding (9b) of plug (7).
