ABSTRACT:
An improved electrical connector for use in a communications card for interfacing between a shielded media connector and a downsized computer is provided. In a preferred embodiment, the communications card comprises a retractable access portion and a fixed portion. The retractable access portion has an aperture formed therein configured to receive the shielded media connector. A conductive pin block provides electrical continuity between the shielded media connector and the fixed portion. A conductive shielding terminal encounters the shielding jacket on the shielded media connector and provides the shielding path through a distal end encountering a ground path contact such as the conductive cover of a PCMCIA communications card. The conductive shielding terminal additionally employs a spring tab extending into the aperture of the retractable access portion for positive contact with the shielded media connector.
