Patent ID: 7267515

Claim:
A multi-pole, multi-row plug-and-socket connector with shielding for placement on an electrical component usable in an electrical or electronic system comprising (a) a housing having an assembly side; (b) a plurality of electrical contact parts for transmission of signals, each electrical contact part comprising a connection section on a first end of said electrical contact part and an electrically conductive attachment section on a second end of said electrical contact part; and (c) an electrical shield comprising at least one electrically conductive contact section; wherein the plug-and-socket connector is a modular female multi-point connector having at least two female multi-point connector slices; wherein the electrical shield comprises a shield plate on each female multi-point connector slice and at least two attachment pins disposed at an end on each side of a body edge of the shield plate that lies on the assembly side, each of said at least two attachment pin having a projection that projects away laterally from said shield plate; wherein each female multi-point connector slice comprises a base body and an electrically shielding plate disposed on an inside surface of the shield plate of each female multi-point connector slice facing the base body of the female multi-point connector slice, said electrically shielding plate covering at least a partial region of the inner surface of the shield plate; wherein the attachment sections of said electrical contact parts project out of the housing on the assembly side and are disposed with the contact section of the electrical shield according to a predetermined raster, said attachment sections and said electrical shield being connectable with the electrical component via soldering; and wherein said attachment sections have free ends comprising surface mount device (SMD) contacts and said at least one electrically conductive contact section of the shield comprises an attachment pin projecting into a passage hole of the electrical component when the plug-and-socket connector is disposed on the electrical component for connective soldering using through-hole reflow (THR) technology.
