ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a shielded receptacle assembly mateable with a plug connector having an external metallic shield. The connector assembly includes an insulating receptacle housing having a mating edge with a plug-receiving cavity extending into the housing from the mating edge. An end wall opposes the mating edge and a plurality of sidewalls are joined with the end wall to define plug receiving cavity. Housing terminals are mounted in the receptacle housing for mating with corresponding plug terminals.
An integral stamped metallic conductive shield is mounted on the outside of the receptacle housing, and includes reversely bent shield engaging cantilever fingers for mating with the external plug shield. The housing includes outwardly projecting shield mounting studs electrically formed on two opposing sidewalls. Slots formed in corresponding shield sidewalls slidingly receive and engage the studs during assembly of the shield and housing members. Accurate alignment between the shield and housing is provided, while preventing outward bowing of the shield away from the housing sidewalls both before and after mating with a plug assembly.
