摘要： An electrical connector comprises a dielectric housing having a terminal receiving cavity and an aperture extending into the housing at an angle with respect to the cavity and open to the cavity. A terminal which is insertable into the cavity has a component mounting surface which is arranged to be aligned with the aperture when the terminal is disposed in the cavity. The terminal and the cavity are configured with cooperating surfaces which guide the terminal during insertion into the cavity such that the component mounting surface does not contact the housing during the insertion, whereby contamination of the component mounting surface is prevented. A method for manufacturing an electromagnetic shielding device suitable for air flow vents of electronic instruments comprises forming a honeycomb and applying a conductive coating thereto.
