ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR HAVING SHIELDING MEMBERS
First Claim
1. An electrical connector for electrically connecting a central processing unit to a printed circuit board, comprising:
- a frame defining a cavity;
a plurality of base units assembled into the cavity of the frame, the base units extending in a longitudinal direction and arranged side by side in a transverse direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, each of the base units comprising an insulating housing and a shielding member embedded within the insulating housing, the shielding member comprising a first portion extending in the longitudinal direction and multiple second portions substantially parallel to each other and extending in a direction intersecting with the longitudinal direction, the second portions together with the first portion defining multiple chambers; and
a plurality of contacts retained in the base units and located in the chambers defined by the shielding member.

Abstract
An electrical connector for electrically connecting a CPU with a PCB includes a frame, a plurality of base units assembled onto the frame and a plurality of contacts retained in the base units. The base units extend in a longitudinal direction and are assembled side by side in a transverse direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. Each of the base units includes an insulating housing and a shielding member embedded within the insulating housing. The shielding member includes a first portion extending in the longitudinal direction and multiple second portions extending in a direction intersecting with the longitudinal direction, the second portions together with the first portion define multiple chambers. The contacts are located in the chambers defined by the shielding member.

15. An electrical connector assembly comprising:
-
at least one unit including; a metallic shielding member defined by at least a first portion extending in a longitudinal direction and a plurality of second portions extending in a transverse direction perpendicular to said longitudinal direction in a securely intersectional manner so as to form a plurality of corresponding chambers communicating with an exterior in a vertical direction perpendicular to both said longitudinal direction and said transverse direction; and an insulative housing associatively coated, via an insert molding process, upon said shielding member so as to hide said shielding member horizontally;
whereinsaid housing forms plurality of passageways in the corresponding chambers, respectively, and a plurality of contacts disposed in the corresponding passageways, respectively;
whereineach of said contacts defines an upper contacting section upwardly obliquely extending above a top face of the housing. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
