Shielded electrical connector element

Claim 1

An electrical conductor element (10) of the type comprising an insulating block (12) which has a front region and which receives electrical contact elements (14) that extend through the insulating block, and a metal shielding cover which at least partially surrounds said front region of said insulating block and which is designed to be joined with the corresponding part of a complementary connector element, characterized in said connector element comprises a cap (36) of insulating material which is attached to the front part (18) of the said shielding cover; said metal shielding cover comprises a front half-shell (18) and a rear half-shell (20), with said insulating cap (36) surrounding said front half-shell (18); said front half-shell (18) comprises an axial, skirt-shaped portion (22) which extends substantially from the front face (16) of the insulating block (12) to surround the connection region of the electrical contact elements (14) and a radial, plate-shaped portion (24) which extends in a plane perpendicular to the axes of the electrical contact elements, said plate-shaped portion (24) being connected to a complementary plate (26) of the rear half-shell (20), and said insulating cap (36) comprises axial, skirt-shaped (38) and radial, plate-shaped (40) parts which surround corresponding parts of the front half-shell (18); said plate-shaped radial part (40) of said insulating cap (36) comprises a rear axial edge (42) which surrounds the peripheral edges of the radial portions (24, 26) of the front half-shell (18) and of the rear half-shell, and said axial edge (42) comprises radial lugs (44) for fastening the cap (36) which interact with the rear face of the plate-shaped portion (26) of the rear half-shell (20).
