  • Patent number: 10141703
    Abstract: A method for electrically insulating a connector module mounted on a printed circuit board assembly, the method including coating a first portion of a piece of sheet metal with an insulation material, forming the piece of sheet metal into a metal frame, wherein a second portion of the piece of sheet metal not coated with the insulation material is formed into a grounding pin, assembling the connector module, wherein components of the connector module include the metal frame, a housing, and a set of external pins, and mounting the connector module on a printed circuit board to form a printed circuit board assembly, wherein the set of external pins are electrically connected to a corresponding set of vias on the printed circuit board, and the grounding pin is electrically connected to a ground on the printed circuit board.
