Abstract
The male connector has a metal shielding shell that accommodates a housing and a synthetic resin enclosure that covers approximately the rear half of this shielding shell . Fastening parts and protruding parts are formed by stamping in the upper-side shell half-body . A metal latching arm which is formed with the approximate shape of a shallow inverted V, and which has an engaging part , is disposed between these fastening parts and protruding parts . The latching arm can be pressed by means of a finger-catch part . This configuration obtains the desired shielding performance while maintaining a compact size in a shielded electrical connector assembly.
