ABSTRACT:
A metal clip is described which retains a modular insert containing an insulator body with contacts thereon, in a shell of a connector, while also providing a ground plane and shield against electromagnetic interference. The clip includes a flat middle portion that extends across most of the width of the connector and a pair of opposite ends bent out of the plane of the middle portion and having edges that abut shoulders formed on the shell and that press against shell surfaces lying adjacent to the shoulders. The flat middle portion lays facewise against a face of the insulator body of the connector to prevent movement of the insulator body and contacts therein. The middle portion of the clip spans most of the area within the shell to provide an electromagnetic shield that is electrically terminated to the shell.
