Electrical connector improving both functions of magnetic shielding and ground connection

摘要

An electrical connector (1) comprises a plurality of a signal contacts (10), a ground plate (20), an insulator (40) retaining the signal contacts and the ground plate, and a shell (60) covering the insulator. The shell has an engaging portion and the ground plate has a to-be-engaged portion (27). The shell is mounted to the insulator in an insert direction (A2) of a counterpart connector into the connector and the ground plate is mounted to the insulator in a direction opposite to the insert direction so that the engaging portion and the to-be-engaged portion engage with each other.
