Abstract
A shielded surface mount connector mounted to a PCB includes a housing, a plurality of terminals and a shelter enclosing the housing. The housing provides a first protruding portion and a second protruding portion. The first and second protruding portions extend downwards respectively to form a first pillar and a second pillar. The shelter provides a first shielding portion and a second shielding portion for covering the first and second protruding portions respectively. The edges of the shielding portions extend downwards respectively to form a first inserting portion and a second inserting portion. As mentioned above, by inserting the first and second pillars and the two inserting portions into the corresponding holes of a PCB, the shielded surface mount connector is mounted to the edge of the PCB, which makes the electronic products much thinner due to the present invention, and saves more space of the PCB for other designs.
