ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly includes an insulative housing having an interconnection end, an opposed contact receiving end and at least one contact member supported within the housing. The contact member is insertably positioned in the housing through said contact receiving end. The electrical connector assembly further includes a conductive shield which is positioned in partial circumscribing relation about the housing. The shield includes at least one cooperating interlocking engagement members located on the insulative housing and shield to positively latch the shield to the housing. The positively latched shield prevents the shield from lifting off the housing during interconnection and disconnection with the mating connector and provides greater alignment of the shield with respect to the housing. The shield is preferably a one-piece construction thus providing enhanced EMI shield protection.
