ABSTRACT:
A surface mounted electrical connector (10) has a metal shield (12) having a front plate (28) with a circular opening (30) for receiving a shielded socket (18) of a mating connector (20), to allow it to mate with a plug portion (16) of the surface mounted connector (10). Spring fingers (34) project from the edge (32) of the opening (30) for engaging shielding (19) of the mating connector (20). Between a pair of the fingers (34) there also projects form the edge (32), a latching finger (80) which is shorter than the spring fingers (34), for latching behind a depressable protuberance (90) on the socket (18). When the plug portion (16) is to be mated with the socket (18), a flexible arm (98) in the socket (18), which carries the protuberance (90) is supported by a support bar (88) which is stiffly resilient. During mating, the protuberance (90 ) displaces the latching finger (80) and latches behind its free end (84). A sleeve (100) on the mating connector (20) can be pulled to withdraw the support bar (98) so that the protuberance can slide under the latching finger (80) to allow the connectors (10 and 20) to be unmated.
