Abstract
The invention concerns a shielded connector of the type comprising a socket (1) attached to a printed circuit board (CI) and a plug (7) designed to be mechanically and electrically coupled to socket (1). A first shielding component (2, 4) is extended by elastic locking projections (22) provided with hooks (24). Shielding (9a) of plug (7) has openings (90a) into which these hooks (24) engage. Projections (22) rub against shielding (9a) of plug (7) and establish a galvanic contact between shieldings (9a, 2-4) of plug (7) and socket (1). They assure a locking of the latter in socket (1). First projection (22) has a separate piece (3) of insulating material forming a lever that permits unlocking plug (7) and socket (1), when a pressure force (F.sub.1) is exerted on projection (3) and an extraction force (F.sub.2) is exerted on plug (7).
