A one-piece, cast metal insert (40) has a base (42) from an edge of which upstands a flange (54). The base has a bore (48) therethrough for receiving a resilient locking metal clip (86) for securing the bracket (40) to a circuit board (CB) and for making contact with a ground conductor (GC) on the circuit board (CB). An internally screw threaded shank projecting from the flange (54) has external retention ribs for securing it in an opening in a mounting ear of a shielded electrical connector housing (2). The housing (2) with the bracket (40) assembled thereto can be mounted on the circuit board (CB) by means of a robot. The connector can then be secured to a panel (P) for example in a computer, by passing a screw (S) through the panel (P) to mesh with the screw thread (66) of the shank. When the screw (S) is tightened, the flange (54) is urged against part (38) of the metal shield of the housing (2), which extends behind the mounting ear, so that the shield is electrically connected firmly to the ground conductor (GC).
