<p>A shielded right angle D-faced connector (10) is provided for mounting on a printed circuit board and for attachment to a complementary electrical connector. The connector (10) comprises an insulator (12) of insulative material supporting a plurality of electrical contacts (20) each formed to have a right angle terminal pin for soldering to the printed circuit board. The connector further comprises a conductive shell (14) supported on the insulator (12) for shielding the contacts (20). Two one-piece, die-cast metal latching blocks (16) are provided at the respective ends of the connector (10), each latching block (16) including latching members (82) for attaching to the complementary connector. Each latching block includes keying elements (92, 94) for cooperative engagement with the insulator body (12) to provide proper alignment and anti-rotation resistance thereto. Two conductive locking clips (18) are included, each clip being supported by the insulator body (12) and secured electrically to the conductive shell (14) to provide an electrical grounding pair thereto. Each locking clip (18) comprises a bend-resistant element in a manner to resist bending of the clip during application to a printed circuit board to assure proper mounting and seating to the board. <IMAGE></p> |
