Abstract
A shielded electrical connector is provided for mounting on a printed circuit board. The connector includes a dielectric housing for mounting on the circuit board and including a front mating end and a rear terminating end. A plurality of conductive terminals are mounted on the housing. A metal shield surrounds the dielectric housing. The shield has an opening at the rear of the housing to afford visual inspection of the connections between the tail portions of the terminals and the circuit traces on the circuit board. A shield cover is slidably mounted at the rear of the housing and the shield to slidably close the opening in the metal shield in a direction generally perpendicular to the printed circuit board.
