Abstract
A device for protecting an electrical connector for a printed circuit board from electromagnetic interference, the connector including a body having a front face to co-operate with a plug and a connection side face touching the board, and contacts, ending in spikes, the spikes being inserted through holes in the board to electrically connect the contacts to conductor tracks; the device including a first shielding element extending along a side face opposite from the connection side face, and continuing along a rear face so as to contact a grounding conductor track; and a second shielding element mounted on a face of the board opposite from the face of the board contacting the connector, and extending along the connection side face, the second shielding element contacting a conductor track, connected to the grounding track, so as to be electrically connected to the first shielding element thus forming a potential cage.
