SHIELDED ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR

摘要

A shielded electrical connector (10) includes an elongated dielectric housing (12) having opposite ends (14) and a plurality of transverse extending terminal-receiving cavities (16). A pair of elongated metal shells (22,24) have narrow elongated flanges (28,36) interfacing at a longitudinal seam (26). At least one shell (22) includes a tab (48) projecting from the flange (28) thereof into an opening (52) in the flange (36) of the other shell (24). The tabs (48) are bent in the longitudinal direction behind the flange (36) of the other shell (24).
