Abstract
An electrical connector includes an insulative housing having a front face and an opposite rear face. A plurality of passageways are defined in the housing between the front and rear faces for receiving and retaining contact elements. Each contact element has a mating section extending beyond the front face and a tail section extending beyond the rear face. A front shielding member is attached to the front face of the housing. The front shielding member has a tubular section surrounding and shielding the mating sections of the contact elements. A rear shielding member is attached to the rear face of the housing and shields the tail sections of the contact elements. The rear shielding member includes a plate having an edge received in a slot defined in the rear face of the housing. Notches are formed in the edge of the plate into which projections having expanded ends formed in the slot of the housing are fittingly received thereby securing the plate to the housing.
