Abstract:
A hybrid electrical connector is provided that includes a housing having a unitary, one-piece body that extends between a front end and an opposite rear end. The housing defines two adjacent cavities each extending between a respective mating opening at the front end and a respective cable opening at the rear end. The two cavities include a shielded cavity configured to hold a shielded contact subassembly therein and an unshielded cavity configured to hold an unshielded contact subassembly therein. The housing includes a first deflectable latch extending into the shielded cavity and directly engaging the shielded contact subassembly therein to secure the shielded contact subassembly within the housing. The housing further includes a second deflectable latch extending into the unshielded cavity and directly engaging the unshielded contact subassembly therein to secure the unshielded contact subassembly within the housing.
