Abstract
A shielded electrical connector includes a dielectric housing having a bottom wall and upstanding side walls defining a receptacle for receiving a plug portion of a complementary mating connector. A metallic shield is mounted on the housing and includes shield portions juxtaposed against the inside of the side walls of the receptacle. Bottom edges of the shield portions are disposed above the bottom wall of the receptacle. The bottom edges are uninterrupted along substantially the entire lengths of the shield portions. The bottom wall of the housing within the receptacle includes recessed areas adjacent the side walls for receiving the bottom edges of the shield portions. A pair of the connectors are joined in a given spacial relationship by a pair of connecting bars embracing dove-tail shaped attachment bosses projecting from the housings of the connectors.
