Abstract

A metal shielding frame is provided. The metal shielding frame is adapted to be disposed in a socket, wherein the socket is adapted to be electrically connected to a connector. The metal shielding frame includes a sleeve-shaped frame body and at least one ground hemming portion. The sleeve-shaped frame body includes a first enclosed edge. The ground hemming portion is formed on the first enclosed edge. The socket includes a socket case and a socket joint. The socket case surrounds the socket joint. The sleeve-shaped frame body is adapted to be inserted between the socket case and the socket joint.

Claims (24)
