ABSTRACT:
A shielded connector in accordance with the present invention includes an insulative housing, a plurality of terminals received in the housing, a shell enclosing the housing, and a shield attached to the shell. The shell comprises a receptacle defining a pair of retention openings in opposite side walls thereof. The shield is U-shaped and has an elongate main body with a pair of clips downwardly extending from opposite ends thereof. Grounding plates forwardly and outwardly extend from the main body and each clip. The clips of the shield extend through the openings of the shell for firmly securing the shield to the shell. When the shielded connector is disposed within a computer system, the grounding plates are in constant contact with a housing of the computer system thereby reducing the effects of EMI on signal transmission through the connector.
