Abstract

The utility model relates to a grounded shrapnel structure of an H-MTD male connector, including a housing of a hollow structure, a shrapnel in an arch shape, and a guide block. The front end of the housing is provided with an opening. The guide block is arranged horizontally. One end of the guide block is connected to one end of the opening. The other end of the guide block is connected to one end of the shrapnel. The structure uses only two surfaces at top and bottom that are grounded, thereby reducing the number of openings, improving the strength of a sidewall, and enhancing the shielding effect. In addition, the guide block can play the function of anti-scratching during assembly, which can effectively avoid the damage to the shrapnel during assembly and improve yield.

Claims (14)
