Patent ID: 7329150

Claim:
An electrical connector, comprising: an insulating housing having a plurality of terminal receiving holes, the insulating housing having a continuous metal layer formed on a lower surface thereof, and on sidewalls of the plurality of terminal receiving holes, the metal layer being formed by physical vapor deposition (PVD), the metal layer being joined to a printed circuit board by solder; a plurality of conductive terminals respectively received in the plurality of terminal receiving holes, wherein the metal layer provides shielding of the conductive terminals from electrical magnetic interference, each of the conductive terminals having a conducting portion passing through a respective one of the plurality of terminal receiving holes, a contacting portion upwardly extended from the conducting portion and bent, and a fixed portion extending from the conducting portion to a distal end portion fixed in an upper side of the insulating housing for supporting the conducting portion to pass through a corresponding terminal receiving hole in spaced relationship to the metal layer, whereby the conducting portion is insulated from the metal layer on the sidewall of the receiving hole by only the spacing therebetween.
