ABSTRACT:
An RJ-type electrical connector includes a one-piece stamped and formed shield having a top panel for covering a top wall of a housing of the connector, side panels for covering the opposite sides of the housing, a front panel for covering a front of the housing about a plug opening, and a rear panel for covering a rear of the housing, the bottom of the front panel including a transverse extension which fits under the front portion of the connector housing after fitting of the shield on the housing and before securing the shield to the housing, and the rear panel of the shield including a forwardly extending tab supporting an upwardly extending latch, the latch cooperating with a cavity on the lower side of the connector to secure the shield to the connector when the rear panel of the shield is folded over the rear of the connector to complete assembly of the shield to the connector. The connector can be a multi-port connector, in which case a plurality of engaging of latches and cavities are distributed along the width of the connector adjacent the rear wall.
