Patent ID: 8172615

Claim:
An electrical connector for electrically connecting an electronic module to an electrical component, said electrical connector comprising: an insulator having a module side and an opposite component side, the insulator being configured to extend between the electronic module and the electrical component such that the module side faces the electronic module and the component side faces the electrical component; electrical contacts held by the insulator, the electrical contacts comprising mating segments arranged in an array along the module side of the insulator, the mating segments being configured to mate with mating contacts of the electronic module; and a shield comprising a body that is at least partially electrically conductive, the body of the shield being mounted on the insulator such that the body covers at least a portion of the module side of the insulator, the body of the shield comprising an opening defined by at least one interior wall of the body, the opening receiving the mating segment of at least one of the electrical contacts therein such that the at least one interior wall extends at least partially around the mating segment of the at least one electrical contact.
