Improved shielded compact data connector

摘要

A shielded electrical connector provides continuous ground shielding about the connector. The connector includes a plurality of electrical contacts having contact tails. An insulative body insertably supports the contacts. A conductive housing having on open end is positioned over the insulative body, the contact tails extend outwardly of the conductive housing. An end shield is positioned adjacent the open end of the conductive housing. The end shield surrounds the contact tails providing shielding therebetween and is in interlocking engagement with the conductive housing thereby establishing electrical ground path continuity between the conductive housing and the end shield.
