Abstract
A shielded electrical connector includes a dielectric housing having a forward mating end and a rearward end. A front ESD shield is disposed about the exterior of at least a substantial portion of the forward mating end of the dielectric housing. A rear EMI shield is disposed about the exterior of at least a substantial portion of the rearward end of the dielectric housing. The front ESD shield is electrically isolated from the rear EMI shield by an outwardly projecting portion of the dielectric housing physically separating the shields. The shielded electrical connector is adapted for mating with a complementary mating connector which includes a peripheral metal shield. A latch arm is folded back from a forward end of the peripheral metal shield of the mating connector for engaging a latch member inside the forward mating end of the dielectric housing of the shielded electrical connector.
