Claims
- 1. A shielded electrical connector comprising:
- a plurality of contacts each having a connecting end to be connected to a mating connector and a termination end to which a cable is to be connected;
- an insulating housing for holding said contacts between their connecting and termination ends;
- an enclosing shell for said connecting ends of said contacts;
- an integrally formed tube-like, seamless metal hood for enclosing said insulating housing and adapted to be electrically connected to a shield member of said cable; and
- said integrally formed metal hood having a receiving part for receiving said insulating housing, a sleeve member to be deformed to said shield member of said cable, and a hood section between said receiving part and said sleeve member for enclosing said termination ends of said contacts.
- 2. The shielded electrical connector of claim 1, wherein said metal hood has a plurality of ribs thereon in planes perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of said sleeve.
- 3. The shielded electrical connector of claim 1, wherein said metal hood has guiding means of a generally L-shaped tube, with one end fitted into and deformed to said sleeve member for holding and directing said cable.
- 4. A method of terminating a cable to a shielded electrical connector having a plurality of contacts each having a connecting end to be connected to a mating connector and a termination end to which a cable is to be connected; an insulating housing for holding said contacts between their connecting and termination ends; an enclosing shell for said connecting ends of said contacts; and an integrally formed metal hood for enclosing said insulating housing and electrically connected to a shield member of said cable; said metal hood having a concave part for receiving said insulating housing, a sleeve member deformed to said shield member and a hood section between them for enclosing said termination ends of said contacts; and said enclosing shell being electrically connected to said metal hood, said method comprising the steps of:
- passing a cable through said sleeve member of said integrally formed metal hood;
- connecting respective conductors of said cable to corresponding termination ends of said contacts;
- securing said integrally formed metal hood to said enclosing shell; and
- deforming said sleeve member to said shield member of said cable for making both mechanical and electrical connection.
