ABSTRACT:
A shielded electrical connector is provided for interconnection to a multi-conductor cable. The connector includes an insulative housing having a front mating face and a rear conductor-receiving face. A conductive shell is disposed about at least a portion of the housing and has an aperture near the rear face of the housing. A pair of conductive shield halves enclose the rear conductor-receiving face of the housing and define a cavity extending rearward therefrom. The shield halves have hooks for engaging beneath portions of the shell proximate the aperture as the shield halves are rotated about the hooks to form the cavity. A fulcrum projection is operatively associated between the shield halves intermediate the front and rear ends thereof for pivoting the shield halves about the fulcrum projection as the shield halves are rotated about the hooks. Thus, the hooks are urged outwardly to positively engage the portions of the shell to assure an electrical connection between the shield halves and the shell.
