Abstract
A shielded connector comprises a housing of insulating material accommodating a plurality of contact elements, and a shielding plate comprising a front half and a back half. The front half has a plurality of contact portions and the back half has contact ends for connection to a printed circuit board. The housing is provided with at least one channel at a front end thereof, this at least one channel being open at its back end and closed at its front end for receiving the front end of the shielding plate. The shielding plate is provided with a bend near its front end for cooperation with back end of the channel. The connector is mounted on a printed circuit board and then the shielding plate is mounted on the printed circuit board by first inserting the front end of the lower shielding plate into the at least one channel until the contact ends are at least substantially aligned with the through holes of the printed circuit board and thereafter inserting the contact ends into the through holes of the printed circuit board.
