ONE-PIECE CONDUCTIVE SHELL AND METHOD FOR MAKING THE SAME

摘要

A one-piece conductive connector shell (1) for use in an electrical connector comprises, a flange (5) about an annular, D-shaped projection (10), on each of the two fastening wings (15) comprise a pair of upper latching tabs (30) fixedly assembled to an insulating connector housing (100), a pair of lower grounding tabs (40) adapted to connect the connector shell (1) to a printed circuit board, and a pair of jackscrew mounting apertures (60) on each fastening wing (15), between the upper latching tabs (30) and the lower grounding tabs (40), the apertures (60) comprise a pair of formed tubular projections (62) to bulge out of the plane defined by the fastening wings (15), and cold-formed internal threads to accept a mating jackscrew.
