Shielded electrical connector.

摘要

The connector assembly includes a projection on one shield half between the housing shell engaging end and the rear cable engaging end. A device is provided for defining a pivot region on the other shield half between the housing shell engaging end and the rear cable engaging end interengaging the projection and about which the shield halves pivot relative to one another between the initial and final positions in order to increase the force of engagement between the housing shell engaging ends and the conductive housing shell upon rotating the shield halves between the initial and final positions. Shell engaging members project forward from the housing shell engaging ends of the shield halves and are engageable beneath inwardly projecting lip of the shell. The projection protrudes into an aperture in the other shield half, a base portion of the projection being wider than the width of the aperture.
