Connector holder with conductive shield

摘要

A connector holder includes a conductive shield and an insulating housing receiving the shield therein. The shield forms projections on opposite walls thereof for engaging a surface of a front panel of a computer enclosure adjacent edges of an opening defined in the front panel. A resilient latch extends from a wall of the housing through the opening of the front panel and forms a barb for engaging with a tab of the front panel for securely fixing the connector holder to the front panel. Fixing pins are formed on an edge of the housing of the connector holder for being received in corresponding holes defined in the front panel to properly position the connector holder with respect to the front panel. The engagement between the projections of the shield and the front panel forms an electrical path for grounding the shield to the front panel.
