Abstract
A shielded electrical connector is adapted for mounting to a circuit board. The connector includes a dielectric housing having a bottom mounting portion adapted for mounting to the surface of the circuit board. A one-piece conductive shield is mounted on the housing and includes an integral ground strap for connection to an appropriate ground pad on the circuit board, an integral locating peg projecting below the bottom mounting portion and adapted for positioning in an appropriate locating hole in the circuit board, and an integral boardlock post projecting below the bottom mounting portion and adapted for positioning in an appropriate locking hole in the board. The shield has at least one ear portion wrapped about an edge of the housing, with the ear portion having a threaded aperture and a positioning tab snappingly interengaged with a locking shoulder on the housing.
