Abstract
The embodiments of the present invention provide a shielded connector having improved shielding effectiveness to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI). Some of the various embodiments provide high-speed electrical connectors capable of carrying gigabyte data rate signals. The shielding may employ, among other things, one or more shielding structures to reduce the EMI associated with these and other signals. The shielding structures may be oriented to reduce or limit the apertures within the connector through which EMI can penetrate. For example, some embodiments for a universal serial bus (USB) connector may support both a USB 3.0 and USB 2.0. For these embodiments, a grounding tab or peg may be placed in the rear of the connector between the USB 3.0 and the USB 2.0 connections to divide the aperture for the port into a plurality of sections. The grounding tab or peg may also serve as a structural support for the connector.
