Abstract
A metal shield is stamped from sheet metal into a box shape and tabs are bent up from the housing walls, and posts are extruded from the tabs. The shield is then insert molded into a plastic housing. A connector shroud is molded on one side of the housing and apertures for terminal pins are also formed during molding. Pins are pressed into the aperture and the ends bent up for circuit board connection. Metal bushings insert molded into ears on the housing provide mounting lugs. The tabs are supports for a circuit board and the posts extend through holes in the circuit board and are upset to retain the board without screws.
