Abstract: A shielded electrical connector is provided for mounting on a printed circuit board. The connector includes a dielectric housing mounting a plurality of conductive terminals having tail portions for connection to appropriate circuit traces on the printed circuit board. A shielding shell is mounted over the dielectric housing and includes a top wall, opposite side walls and a rear wall. A bottom portion of the rear wall closest to the printed circuit board is connected to a ground pad on the circuit board by a surface connection.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a two-part housing comprising a non-conductive first housing part and a non-conductive second housing part with a conductive layer. A plurality of conductive terminals are mounted on the non-conductive first housing part. The terminals have contact portions for engaging appropriate contacts of a complementary mating connector. A conductive latch member is mounted on the housing in engagement with the conductive layer of the second housing part. The latch member has a latch portion for engaging an appropriate latch of the complementary mating connector.

Abstract: An electrical connector is provided for mounting through an aperture in a panel with floating movement between the connector and the panel. A connector housing includes a mating portion insertable from a first side of the panel, through the aperture, to a position projecting from a second side of the panel. A first projection on the housing is engageable with the first side of the panel. A spring retention cap is positioned about the mating portion on the second side of the panel and includes a second projection for engaging the second side of the panel. An extension spring has opposite ends fixed to the spring retention cap and to the housing for drawing the first projection on the housing and the second projection on the spring retention cap against the first and second sides of the panel.
