Abstract
A shielded electrical connector assembly which includes an insulating housing having a front mating end and a rear conductor receiving end. A stamped and formed metal shield surrounds at least the rear conductor receiving end of the insulating housing. The shield is formed by a pair of interengaging shield halves. Each shield half has a semicylindrical portion projecting from the rear end thereof and combining with the other shield half to form a cable crimping barrel. The barrel is formed by metal of each shield half being folded rearwardly from a front end thereof, through an opening in the rear end thereof, and thereby being integral with the remainder of the respective shield half. The insulating housing is formed by two interengaging housing halves defining a conductor receiving opening at the rear conductor receiving end of the housing. Interengaging beams are provided on the housing halves on opposite sides of the opening to provide lateral support for a cable and interengaging support for the housing halves themselves.
