Abstract
A shielded electrical connector provides a highly-reliable grounding connection of shell members comprising a metal shield to a ground circuit of a circuit board in which a grounding connection is accomplished by mounting screws. The shielded electrical connector (1) comprises an insulating housing (10), upper and lower shell members (21, 22) form a metal shield and they are arranged on a top and a bottom of the housing (10), and mounting screws (30) are provided to secure the connector (1) on a circuit board (40). The upper shell member (21) has spring-loaded contact members (23) as integral parts of the upper shell member that form spring-loaded electrical connection with threaded portions (31) of the mounting screws (30). Heads (32) of the mounting screws (30) form electrical connection with a ground circuit of the circuit board (40), thus grounding the upper shell member (21) to the circuit board (40) through the mounting screws (30).
