Abstract
A shielded surface mount electrical connector includes a dielectric housing adapted for mounting to a surface of a circuit board and includes a mating portion. A metallic shield is mounted on the housing over at least part of the mating portion thereof. The shield includes at least two integral grounding pins structured to provide polarization for the connector on the board. The pins thereby perform the dual function of grounding the metallic shield and polarizing the connector.
