Elektrischer Verbinder und Abschirmung für Oberflächenmontage

摘要

An electrical connector (1) for mounting on a circuit board includes a housing (2) having a pair of spaced, rudimentary bottom walls (30) each having a bottom surface for engaging against the circuit board. Each bottom wall (30) has a through bore (39) formed therein opening into the bottom face and also opening upwardly. A hollow board lock (41) supported in each of the bores (39) has locking legs projecting below the bottom face of the respective bottom wall (30) for insertion in a hole in a circuit board. The housing (2) has a header (8) carrying electrical terminals (64, 66, 68, 70) having terminal legs (76) projecting rearwardly from the header (8) and terminating in soldering tails (78). A metal shield (18) covering the terminal legs (76) has grounding tabs which extend through respective board locks (41) and are soldered to the grounding conductors at the same time as the locking legs.
