Summary:An electrical connector assembly includes a pin header that can be mounted in an opening in an electrically conductive case. The pin header includes a molded pin header housing that can be used in unfiltered as well as filtered and shielded versions. The filtered and shielded versions include a ground shield (20) that includes segmented cantilever tangs (26) extending along peripheral edges (22A-D) of the shield member (20). These tangs (26) accommodate a high tolerance in dimensions of the opening (4) and mechanically grip the electrically conductive case to establish ground continuity. One version of the ground shield (20) can be mounted on a printed circuit board to which filter capacitors are soldered.
