Abstract
A shielded electrical connector is provided for mounting at least partially in a cut-out portion of a printed circuit board. The connector includes a dielectric housing having an opening through a bottom wall thereof coincident with the cut-out portion of the printed circuit board. The housing has a plug-insertion cavity with an opening at a front mating face thereof for receiving a complementary mating plug connector. A latch projection extends from the housing near the opening in the bottom wall thereof. A metal shield is mounted about the housing and has a front plate portion juxtaposed over the front mating face of the housing and having a plug-insertion opening aligned with the front opening of the housing. The shield includes a bottom plate portion aligned with the opening in the bottom wall of the housing and including a latch aperture for embracing the latch projection of the housing.
