Abstract
A totally shielded connector includes a cuboid insulator having an annular recess and a cylindrical portion incorporating a plurality of contacts for coupling with a tubular external shield of a plug. The shield is comprised of two separate shells for covering five faces of the insulator except the face through which contacts extend for reception in apertures in a base on which the connector is to be mounted. One U-shaped front shell defines a front wall and two side walls and a second L-shaped rear shell defines a top wall and a rear wall. These two shells are fastened to each other, and to the insulator. Overlapping structures are positioned on a portion of all of the interconnection edges between the two shells to substantially eliminate any gaps in the shielding.
