Shielded electrical connector

摘要

An shielded electrical connector comprises an insulating housing, a plurality of conductive contacts received in a plurality of passageways defined in the housing, and standoff means for standing off on a circuit board in either a vertical arrangement in which the front mating face of the main body faces an upward direction or a horizontal arrangement in which the mating face facing a lateral direction. A shielding device surrounds the housing for prevent from electromagnetic interference. The shielding device is either manufactured as a unitary piece by stamping and bending or further comprises second shell as a two-piece design. The conductive contacts comprises a front contacting section including a stress-releasing portion for distributing stresses.
