ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes a pin connector and a receptacle connector. The pin connector includes a housing and pin contacts fixed to the housing. The receptacle connector includes contact assemblies each having an insulator and receptacle contacts fixed to the insulator; a connecting fixture for holding the contact assemblies; a block into which the contact assemblies are inserted, and first and second shield plates mounted on the block. The first shield plate has a substantially L-shaped cross-section and includes a required number of first anchoring pieces extending from its one free end and projections at tip ends of terminals on the other free end. The second shield plate includes a required number of second anchoring pieces extending from its one free end and anchoring portions to engage the terminals of the first shield plate. The block has flanges at both the ends in its width direction, the flanges having engagement portions for receiving therein the first and second anchoring pieces of the first and second shield plates. With the electrical connector thus constructed, there is no risk of the first and second shield plates moving away from the block, and there is no risk of the pin contacts and the first and second shield plates being deformed when the pin connector and the receptacle connector are connected. This electrical connector is easy to assemble and easy to mount the respective shield plates onto the receptacle connector.
