Abstract

A socket connector comprises a circuit board with a socket part mounted on the outside thereof; a socket shield part; a metal shield plate with a through-slot, on the outside of which the socket shield part is mounted; a shield shell with openings on the wall thereof, forming into a shield chamber for fitting a plug and arranged on the socket shield part; and elastic shielding sheets, snapped into the openings and protruding outwards from the openings, wherein the socket part is inserted into the shield chamber formed by the shield shell through the through-slot of the metal shield plate. The elastic shielding sheets can be easily mounted since they are snapped into the shield shell; due to protruding outwards, the elastic shielding sheets come into contact with the inner surface of the shell of the plug to enable shield when the plug is inserted, so that the surface of the shell of the plug will not be scratched; due to the providing of the metal shield plate, the partial shield around the socket part can achieved, resulting in that the stability of the transmission of the ultrasonic signal is secured.

Claims (10)

1. A socket connector for inserting a plug thereon, comprising:

a circuit board;

a socket part mounted on outside of the circuit board;

a metal shield plate with a through-slot; and

a socket shield part mounted in the through-slot and towards the outside of the metal shield plate, wherein the socket shield part includes:

a shield shell forming a shield chamber, wherein openings are provided on a wall of the shield shell; and

elastic shielding sheets, each elastic shielding sheet having an end snapped into the openings towards the inside of the shield shell, and having a portion protruding from the openings towards the outside of the shield shell so that a portion of each elastic shielding sheet contacts with an inner surface of the plug,

wherein the socket part is inserted into the shield chamber formed by the shield shell through the through-slot of the metal shield plate, wherein said socket part is fixed on the metal shield plate by a mounting portion having mounting fasteners.

2. The socket connector according to claim 1 , wherein the through-slot of said metal shield plate is a stepped slot including a first through-slot and a second through-slot connecting each other, the shape of the first through-slot matches the outline of the socket part, and the socket shield part is mounted in the second through-slot.

3. The socket connector according to claim 2 , wherein two ends of said mounting portion are fixed in the second through-slot with an arched middle part thereof fastened with the socket part.
