ABSTRACT:
A mini DIN connector comprises an insulative housing, a number of terminals secured in the housing, a shield and a bottom cover. Side walls of the shield each include a cutout and an L-shaped boardlock extending from an upper edge of each cutout for securing the connector to a circuit board. The circuit board forms a cutout for receiving the connector. A support portion projects from each lateral face for engaging an edge of the cutout of the circuit board. When the boardlocks secure the connector to the circuit board, a bottom of the housing is located below the circuit board. Thus, the height of the connector above the circuit board is reduced. In addition, the bottom cover is mounted to the bottom of the housing thereby improving shielding against EMI.
