Abstract
An electrical connector is provided that has adequate shielding and does not compromise workability. The electrical connector includes a housing, an actuator, a shield plate, a plurality of signal contacts, a shield contact, a pair of pegs and a shield shell. An upper surface of the electrical connector is covered with the shield plate and the shield shell, both of which are made of a conductive material, and the shield plate and the shield shell are connected to a grounding pattern on a printed wiring board for grounding. In addition, shield paths are formed in an open space between the shield plate) and the shield shell to divide the open space into left and right non-shielded areas and a central non-shielded area. The connector can be shielded with reliability from an electromagnetic wave produced by the connector itself or an external electromagnetic wave with the open space remaining.
