Abstract
The invention concerns a connector of the shielded 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) comprises openings (90a) in which these hooks (24) engage. These 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 also assure a locking of the latter in the socket (1).
