<p>A receptacle connector is described, which has an EMI (electromagnetic interference) shield of low cost construction with many rearwardly-extending tines for engaging a fully mated plug connector and a pair of forwardly extending fingers for grounding the plug connector before contact mating occurs, in a low cost construction. The shield (60) is formed of a piece of sheet metal having an approximately 180 DEG bend (62) resulting in outer and inner legs (66, 64). The outer leg is mounted in a groove (70) on the inside of the connector shell (22), while the inner leg forms multiple tines (50) and a pair of early grounding fingers (80). A region of the inner leg has a pair of vertical slots (84, 86) forming a finger with a rear end (90) supported on adjacent portions of the inner leg and with a free finger outer end (82) that engages a plug connector when it is first inserted into the receptacle connector.</p> |
