<p>A shielded connector (10, 110) having a pair of substantially C-shaped shield members (40, 70; 140, 170) mounted on the outside surfaces of a substantially box-shaped insulating housing (20, 120). Shield members (40, 140; 70, 170) are disposed so that each shield member is superimposed on three of the six outside surfaces of the insulating housing (20, 120). A shroud (49) that includes a mating opening (48) used for engagement with the mating connector is formed in the forward shield member (40, 140). A contact extension opening (74) is formed on the rearward shield member (70), and the contacts (30) include tines (32) extending rearward through contact extension opening (74). After the shield member (70) has been mounted, the tines (32) are bent to form throughhole-mountable or surface mountable type tines.</p> |
