Upright electrical connector
First Claim
1. An upright electrical connector for mounting on a printed circuit board (PCB), comprising:
- an insulative housing, the insulative housing comprising a base portion, a first and a second tongue portions extending from and outside the base portion forwardly in a front-to-rear direction, a first and a second mating plate received in the base portion, the first mating plate comprising a first base plate and the first tongue portion extending forwardly from the first base plate, the second mating plate comprising a second base plate and the second tongue portion extending forwardly from the second base plate;
a plurality of first and second contacts retained in the insulative housing, the first having first contacting portions held in an inner surface of the first tongue portion, the second contacts having second contacting portions held in an inner surface of the second tongue portion;
an inner shield mounted to the base portion, the inner shield comprising a top wall, a bottom wall opposite to the top wall and a pair of sidewalls connecting the top wall and the bottom wall, the inner shield enclosing the first and the second tongue portions therein with a receiving slot formed between the top wall, the bottom wall and the inner surfaces of the first and the second tongue portions, the first and second contacting portions being exposed to the receiving slot; and
an outer shield mounted to the base portion, the outer shield comprising a top wall, a bottom wall opposite to the top wall and a pair of sidewalls connecting the top wall and the bottom wall, the outer shield enclosing the base portion, the first and the second tongue portions and the inner shield therein with gaps formed between the top wall, the bottom wall and the pair of sidewalls of the inner shield and corresponding top wall, bottom wall and sidewalls of the outer metal shield; and
wherein the inner surfaces of the first and the second tongue portions are perpendicular to the top and bottom walls of the inner shield and the outer shield.

Abstract
An upright electrical connector for mounting on a PCB includes a bas portion, a first and second mating plate retained in the base portion, a number of first and second contacts held in the first and second mating plate, respectively, an inner shield mounted to the base portion to shield the first and second contacts and an outer shield mounted to the base portion to enclose the inner shield therein. The first and second mating plate includes a first and second tongue portion. The first and second contacts are supported in an inner surface of the first and second tongue portion. An arrangement of the first and a second tongue portions, the first and a second contacts, the inner shield and the outer shield are arranged to configured to a standard IEEE 1394B interface. The first and second tongue portion are perpendicular to the PCB.
