ABSTRACT:
A folded sheet metal shielding shell (4) for a surface mounted electrical connector (6) has first and second side walls (12, 14), the first side wall (12) extending rearwardly of the second side wall (14). A cantilever flange (46) depends from a top wall (8) of the shell (4) and is formed with a latching opening (52) for latchingly receiving a wedge shaped latch member (86) on a side face of the housing (70) of connector (6). The flange (46) provides a rearward extension of the second side wall (14) and is connected to the top wall (8) so as to be deflectable away from the first side wall (12) to allow the latch member (86) to engage in the latching opening (52) with a snap action, and resiles when the latch member (86) has engaged in the latching opening (52).
