  • Patent number: 9985364
    Abstract: A shield connector includes an outer housing accommodating a shield shell in a shell insertion direction. A stepped part protrudes from an inner wall of the outer housing to support the shield shell. A cover plate portion of the shield shell includes a bendable side portion extending along the shell insertion direction. A tip imaginary line of an end face of the stepped part is curved so that a position of the end face corresponding to the joining portion is located on a far side from an electric wire pullout opening in the shell insertion direction than a position of the end face corresponding to the bendable side portion, to thereby urge the cover plate portion in a bending direction when an inner housing with the shield shell is inserted into the outer housing.

  • Patent number: 8724343
    Abstract: An electromagnetic shield comprises a sheet of metal having slots along an edge of the sheet to form a plurality of resilient fingers. The single sheet is bent around first and second bends axes inwardly and approximately ninety degrees to form a top planar surface and first and second side walls. The single sheet of metal is sized and dimensioned to receive a connector in between the first and second side walls and top planar surface. The fingers are bent outward with a bend radius of approximately 0.020 inches with respect to a flat surface of the sidewalls and top planar surface. The fingers apply a biasing force against a surface of a faceplate. Each of the side walls includes an elongated leg, which is interconnected with a circuit board and each of the elongated legs extends beyond a bottom edge of each of the side walls.
