Patent ID: 8672712

Claim:
A shield made of a conductive material and used to cover a connector that has a stopper portion and is fixed to a circuit board, the shield comprising: a shield body covering the connector; a contact portion projecting from the shield body toward inside of the shield body to contact a ground terminal of the connector, the contact portion being elastically deformable and applying a pressing force toward the connector; and a lock portion projecting from the shield body toward outside of the shield body, the lock portion being brought into contact with the stopper portion of the connector by a reaction force exerted to the shield body due to the pressing force, thereby to restrict the shield body from being moved relative to the connector due to the reaction force, wherein the shield body includes an end wall, a first side wall, a second side wall and a top wall, the first side wall, the second side wall and the top wall extend from the end wall, the first side wall, the second side wall, the top wall and the end wall provide an opening to receive at least a portion of the connector, the contact portion is disposed at the end wall, the lock portion is disposed at an end of at least one of the first side wall and the second side wall to receive the stopper portion between the lock portion and the end of the at least one of the first side wall and the second side wall and to contact an end of the stopper portion opposite to the end wall of the shield body.
