  • Registered jack with enhanced EMI protection
    Patent number: 7704098
    Abstract: An electrical connector has a shield for EMI shielding. The top of the shield has two rows of tabs; two flaps, one on either side of the shield; and a tab on the bottom. The flaps have mounting holes. When the connector is attached to a mounting panel, screws or rivets are mounted through the holes in the flaps and corresponding holes in the mounting panel to secure the connector. The bottom tab and the two rows of top tabs electrically connect the shield to the mounting panel to provide extra EMI protection to the connector. The flaps provide yet another connection to provide EMI protection. The two rows of tabs can be positioned and sized such that the rear row of tabs engages with a flange in the rear of the top of the mounting panel. The electrical connector is preferably an RJ connector.
