A shielded connector (1) comprises at least a metal housing (10) configured by first, second, third and fourth sidewalls (100, 101, 102, 103) defining a receiving space (104) therebetween, and first and second terminal insert securely attached to the first and third wall of the metal housing. Each terminal insert includes a plurality of terminals (30) molded with an insulating material, each terminal including at least a retaining section (300) which is covered by the insulating material, and defining a plane extending therethrough, and a contact section (304) with a base portion (308) extending from the retaining section, wherein the base portion is away from the plane defined by the retaining section. And each terminal further includes enlarged portion (306), which connected the retaining section and the contact section, and being out of the insulating material so as to effectively reduce the deflection during mating with an inserted element.

What is claimed is: 1. A shielded connector comprising: a metal housing with sidewalls defining a receiving space therein and at least one of the sidewalls having a soldering portion extending outwardly therefrom; and a terminal insert securely attached to the first wall; the terminal insert including a plurality of terminals secured within an insulating material, each terminal including at least an enlarged retaining section, which is exposed from the insulating material, and a contact section extending from one end of the enlarged retaining section toward to the receiving space; wherein each terminal further includes a retaining section, which is covered by the molded material and connected to the enlarged retaining section, and a soldering section extending outwardly and perpendicularly from the other end of the retaining section; wherein the shielded connector further including at least a metal shield attached to the terminal insert; wherein the shielded connector further including fastening means extending from sides of the metal shield, through the terminal insert and anchored to one of the sidewalls of the metal housing; wherein the metal shield includes a vertical portion substantially cover the insulative housing and a horizontal portion substantially covering the soldering sections of the terminals; wherein the horizontal portion having upward resilient fingers; and wherein the metal shield further comprises a pair of skirt portions attached to the sidewalls of the metal housing. 2. The shielded connector according to claim 1, wherein the fastening means is a retaining rod/nail assembling the metal shield, the terminal insert, and the walls of the metal housing through interference. 3. The shielded connector according to claim 2, wherein the insulating housing is pre-molded with a hole for receiving the retaining rod/nail. 4. The shielded connector according to claim 3, wherein the insulating housing is pre-molded with an aligning bud/post. 5. The shielded connector according to claim 4, wherein the sidewalls include first wall, second wall, third wall and forth wall, and the first and third wall is defined with a positioning recess in aligning with the aligning bud/post. 6. The shielded connector according to claim 5, wherein the second and fourth walls have a section higher than the first and third sidewall. 7. The shielded connector according to claim 6, wherein the metal shields includes resilient fingers extending into the receiving space of the metal housing. 8. The shielded connector according to claim 7, wherein each of the second and fourth walls of the metal housing includes locking fingers extending into the receiving space of the metal housing.
