Electrical connector having a shielded element with conductivity and compressibility

Abstract

An electrical connector for interconnecting a camera module with a printed circuit board comprises a shield housing including a base wall and side wall. Wherein at least a grounding finger is formed on the side wall and extends from the inner surface of the side wall to the opposite wall for contacting with the periphery of the camera module. And a shield element, which can be compress and conductive, is attached to the bottom surface of the housing. Therefore, when the electrical connector is assembled into a chamber formed on the mobile phone for accommodating the electrical connector, the shield element can be compressed between the housing and the inner wall of the chamber, thus, the electricity from the camera module can be transmitted to the mobile phone via the shield element and the electrical connector is not interfered by the other electric equipment.
