Electrical connector assembly with improved shielding structure
First Claim
1. An electrical connector assembly adapted for fixing to a printed circuit board and mating with a complementary connector, comprising:
- an insulative housing comprising an upper body and a lower body respectively forming a first socket and a second socket;
a plurality of terminals respectively secured within the first and second sockets;
a shield enclosing the insulative housing and comprising a first part covering the upper body, a second part enclosing the lower body, and a third part covering a rear face of the insulative housing; and
a pair of hooks being respectively formed on side faces of the first part, a pair of ears being formed on the second part, and the hooks being fittingly engagable with the ears to securely connect the first and second parts together and to provide an electrical connection between the first and second parts.

Abstract
An electrical connector assembly (1) comprises an insulative housing (10), a plurality of terminals (30, 31) within the housing and a shield (20) covering the housing. The shield comprises a first part (21), a second part (22) and a third part (23). A pair of hooks (216) extends downwardly and forwardly from a front and lower end of the first part. A pair of ears (223) is formed on opposite ends of a front edge of a top face of the second part and engages with the hooks. A spacing slot (13) and a hole (124) are defined in the housing. A pair of latches (225) separately extend from the top and a lower face of the second part and engage respectively with the spacing slot and the hole.
