Abstract
In a multipin connector socket a rectangular body of an insulating material, with socket contacts housed therein in rows and columns, is received in a tubular metallic shield cover, which is, in turn, received in a square tubular case of an insulating material, defining therebetween a square groove for receiving a shell of the mating connector plug inserted thereinto from the front. The front of the socket portion of the case is covered with a metallic square tubular ground cover, and lugs set up from the shield cover are engaged with slots of the ground cover, by which the shield cover and the ground cover are electrically connected to each other. Spring pieces extending from the ground cover project into the square groove for elastically contacting the shell of the mating connector plug when the plug is inserted into the square groove.
