Abstract: An electrical connector includes a housing having contact chambers between a top and a bottom configured to be mounted to a circuit board. A rear wall of the housing includes lead slots open at the top to receive leads of an electrical component. The electrical connector includes a cover coupled to the top of the housing above the leads. The electrical connector includes contacts received in corresponding contact chambers. Each contact includes a base having a solder pad at a bottom configured to be soldered to a circuit board conductor of the circuit board. Each contact includes contact beams extending from the base to form a socket proximate to the top of the housing that receives the lead of the electrical component from above to electrically connect to the lead of the electrical component.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are various exemplary embodiments of shielding enclosures. In an exemplary embodiment, a shielding enclosure generally includes a frame and a lid. The frame includes vertically extending sidewalls and horizontally inwardly extending lateral flanges therefrom. The lateral flanges define a top opening of the frame and include outwardly extending detent legs. The lid includes a top portion for covering the top opening of the frame. The lid also includes flanges downwardly extending from edges of the top portion. At least one of the flanges has a detent structure, such that when the lid is installed on the frame the detent legs of the frame are engaged by the detent structure. The detent structure may, for example, be detent slots or detent protrusions.
