ABSTRACT:
A shroud (50) for an electrical connector (12) of the type including a housing having opposed mating and exit faces (16, 20) and a mounting face (18) extending rearwardly in a plane perpendicular to that of the mating face (16) and a plurality of terminal members (42) secured in respective terminal-receiving apertures (26) of the housing (14). The terminal members (42) extend from first contact sections (44) exposed for mating at the mating face to elongate tails extending from the exit face through right angle bends and to second contact sections (48) beyond the plane of the mounting face (18). The dielectric shroud (50) includes opposed bottom and top walls (54, 60) and opposed end walls (66) extending from housing-proximate edges adapted to be fitted against the exit face (20) thereof and a sidewall (52) extending between the top and bottom walls (60, 54). The bottom wall (54) includes an array of channels (56) extending rearwardly from the leading edge spaced and dimensioned to receive the second contact sections (48) upon the shroud (50) being inserted onto the exit face (20) from rearwardly thereof. The exposed portions of the terminal members (42) above the plane of the mounting face (18) are thereby enclosed within shroud (50).
