Patent ID: 7637778

Claim:
A board-mounted type connector with a shield plate comprising: an insulating housing having a board mounting surface from which metal pins stick out to pass through mounting holes on a horizontal circuit board, a first surface of the insulating housing formed parallel to and spaced from said board mounting surface by a step difference of at least a thickness of said board, and a male connector connection surface having inside, female connector parts for electrical connection with said pins and adjoining said first surface, the shield plate made of metal and attached between said connector and board after the board-mounted type connector is mounted on said board, wherein an engagement part to be engaged with said first surface, a shield part for shielding said pins sticking out from said board, a mounting part provided with press-fit pins engaged by insertion into engagement holes provided in said board, pin support parts provided at a boundary between said shield part and said mounting part and supporting said press-fit pins vertically to said board when said engagement part is engaged with said first surface in a state with said shield part inclined with respect to said board surface, and flexible parts provided near said pin support parts and deforming by pushing action so that the shield part approaches the surface of said board after the press-fit pins are inserted into and engaged with the engagement holes by the pushing action, wherein said pin support parts are provided with pushing parts sticking out on extensions of base parts of said press-fit pins and given a pushing force when inserting said press-fit pins into said engagement holes, and said flexible parts are provided with curved parts bent to an angle of about 180° after sticking out from portions adjoining the base parts of said press-fit pins to opposite sides from said shield part and connecting to said pin support parts.
