ABSTRACT:
The shielded electrical connector (10) has an insulating housing (20), a metal shell (30) and a pair of fasteners (40). The metal shell (30) has resilient fastening legs (33). The fastener (40) has a main leg (41) with resilient arms (42) at its end, which is inserted and retained in the opening (26) of the insulating housing (20). The auxiliary leg (45) is made at a right angle relative to the main leg and has a latching protrusion (46) on its outer surface which becomes engaged with the resilient fastening leg (33) of the metal shell (30). The resilient arms (42) of the fastener (40) are inserted into a through-hole of the printed circuit board, thus achieving the attachment of the electrical connector (10) to the board, while the connection to the grounding layer is performed by means of soldering.
