Patent ID: 8052481

Claim:
An electrical connector receptacle, comprising: a shield cover fabricated from an electrically-conductive material and having a base panel, a first pair of opposing side walls connected to and depending from the base panel and a second pair of opposing side walls connected to and depending from the base panel and connected to the first pair of opposing side walls to define a cavity into the shield cover, the base panel having a base panel hole formed therethrough, the first and second pairs of opposing side walls connected together providing a peripheral side wall edge portion forming an opening into the cavity; a terminal unit having a first terminal unit mounting block, a second terminal unit mounting block, a first terminal assembly and a second terminal assembly, the first terminal unit mounting block formed with a first terminal unit mounting block hole extending therethrough, the second terminal unit mounting block formed with a second terminal unit mounting block hole extending therethough, the first and second terminal unit mounting blocks being connected together in a stacked manner, respective ones of the first terminal assembly and the second terminal assembly mounted to at least one of the first terminal unit mounting block and the second terminal unit mounting block; a fastener structure having a fastener head and an elongated shaft, wherein, with the first terminal unit mounting block hole and the second terminal unit mounting block hole being in registration with each other, the stacked, connected first and second terminal unit mounting blocks are disposed in the cavity and, with the first terminal unit mounting block hole, the second terminal unit mounting block hole and the base panel hole being in registration with one another, the fastener structure is operative in association with the shield cover and the terminal unit such that the fastener head is disposed exteriorly of the shield cover and facially opposes the base panel while the elongated shaft extends through the base panel hole, the first terminal unit mounting block hole and the second terminal unit mounting block hole and projects outwardly from the opening; and a grounding assembly sized to be received and releasably retained in the cavity, the grounding assembly including a yoke member being resiliently-biased and projecting outwardly from the opening when the grounding assembly is received and releasably retained in the cavity, the yoke member being fabricated from an electrically-conductive sheet material, wherein the grounding assembly includes a ground bar member fabricated from an electrically-conductive material and a pair of grounding assembly fasteners, the grounding bar member having a pair of grounding bar member holes extending therethrough, the yoke member having a pair of leg portions and a contact portion interconnecting the pair of leg portions, each leg portion having a leg portion hole formed therethrough.
