Shielded connector for reducing the deflection of the terminal

Abstract

A shielded connector () comprises at least a metal housing () configured by first, second, third and fourth sidewalls () defining a receiving space () therebetween, and first and second terminal insert securely attached to the first and third wall of the metal housing. Each terminal insert includes a plurality of terminals () molded with an insulating material, each terminal including at least a retaining section () which is covered by the insulating material, and defining a plane extending therethrough, and a contact section () with a base portion () extending from the retaining section, wherein the base portion is away from the plane defined by the retaining section. And each terminal further includes enlarged portion (), which connected the retaining section and the contact section, and being out of the insulating material so as to effectively reduce the deflection during mating with an inserted element.
