EMI resistant electrical connector

摘要

An electgromagnetic interference resistant electrical connector consisting of an electrical plug and an electrical receptacle. The electrical plug includes an insulating housing having a floor portion which defines a fitting cavity; first contact elements arranged on a surface of the floor portion such that their contact sections are exposed in the fitting cavity; first shield plate provided on the other surface of the floor portion; and second shield plate provided above the contact sections to cover the fitting cavity. The electrical receptacle includes an insulating housing having contact support plate; second contact elements arranged on the contact support plate such that their contact sections are exposed in the fitting cavity; and a shield case having a ceiling portion close to the contact support plate and a floor portion opposed to the second contact sections such that when both the electrical plug and receptacle are connected to each other, the first and second contact sections are brought into contact with each other in the fitting cavity, and the first and second shield plate are brought into contact with the ceiling and floor portion of the shield case, respectively, so as to enclose both the floor portion and the contact support plate.
