Abstract
A rightangle board mount electrical connector of high contact density includes a diecast metal housing having a front wall and rearwardly projecting side walls. The front wall has upper and lower through openings therein each receiving a drawn metal shell which in turn receives an insulating header having cavities containing mating portions of electrical terminals. Each terminal has projecting obliquely and rearwardly from the respective header a terminal leg terminating in a soldering tail. The terminal legs are so dimensioned that the solder tails are arranged in four rows for insertion through holes in a spacer plate. A shield can be inserted downwardly between the housing side walls for retention in the housing. A downwardly inclined rearwall of the shield covers the terminal legs for complete shielding of the terminals. In use of the connector the housing is grounded to a circuit board in which the connector is mounted and the shield is similarly grounded.
