ABSTRACT:
A shielding assembly (2) for an electrical connector (4) comprises drawn metal shell (6) for receiving a connector (4), the drawn shell (6) having an upper wall (46) and a lower wall (48). The shell (6) is open at its rear end to receive the connector (4). The rear edge of each of the upper and lower walls (46,48) is formed with a pair of spaced openings (50), each opening being bridged by a bearing member (118). The shielding assembly (2) further comprises an upper back shell (12) and a lower back shell (14). From a forward end of each back shell (12,14) there project two pairs of tabs (68), a hook (72) projecting forwardly between the tabs (68) of each pair. For pivotally connecting each back shell (12,14) to the drawn shell (6) each hook (72) inserted through the rear open end of the drawn shell (6) so as to extend about the inner surface (126,128) of the bearing member with the tabs (68) engaging outer surface (122) of the bearing member (118). The back shells (12,14) are then in an open position away from each other. The back shells are then pivoted towards each other about the bearing members (118) so that each bearing member (118) is captured between the tabs (68) of a respective pair and the hook (72) between these tabs, whereby each bearing member (118) is slightly torsioned as the back shells (12,14) are pivoted towards each other to a closed position. Excellent mechanical and electrical connection is thereby established between the back shells (12,14) and the drawn shell (6).
