ABSTRACT:
A receptacle connector (12) is provided for mounting on a circuit board (14) and for receiving a plug (30) to deflect the plug contacts (32) against contact pads (20) on the board, wherein a receptacle connector of simple design provides EMI (electromagnetic interference) shielding, means for fixing itself to the board in a simple and accurate manner, and means for secure plug latching. The receptacle connector includes a die cast metal housing and a plastic molded cam wall (26) fixed to the housing. The housing has three solder pad projections (100, 102, 104) at its bottom which are soldered to ground traces (110, 112, 114) on the circuit board to hold the housing in place and with its horizontal plane accurately parallel to the plane of the circuit board. The metal of the die cast housing provides EMI shielding and provides metal strikes (54) against which plug latches (50) are latched.
