Abstract:
An electrical connector adapted to be connected with an electrical cable that is disposed behind said electrical connector, said electrical connector comprising:an insulator body having a front face, a rear face that is opposite said front face, and a terminal pin unit, said terminal pin unit including a plurality of parallel pins that extend through said insulator body, each of said pins having a front end that extends from said front face of said insulator body, and a rear end that extends from said rear face of said insulator body;an annular metal housing for defining a terminal opening therein, said housing having a rear end, which is formed with an outwardly extending flange; anda tubular unitary metal protective shield having open front and rear ends, which are adapted for passage of the cable through said shield to connect with said rear ends of said pins electrically, said shield defining a hole therein, which has an enlarged front end portion for receiving said insulator body fittingly therein, said front end of said shield being formed with an outwardly extending flange, which abuts against said flange of said housing and which is connected fixedly to said flange of said housing, one of said flanges of said housing and said shield has an outer periphery formed integrally with an endless annular frame that extends axially and outwardly therefrom and that confines the other one of said flanges of said housing and said shield therein, thereby reducing electromagnetic interference in said electrical connector.
