is designed to be plugged into a conforming port in a component not shown the connector plug 12 is attached to the housing 14 the housing 14 is most commonly a metal structure intended to provide electromagnetic shielding to the electrical conductors 21 within conventional housings are sometimes formed from more than one piece such as upper and lower halves not shown or as one piece the embodiment shown in fig2 shows a single piece molded metal housing 14 a cable 13 having several electrical conductors or wires 21 enters the housing 14 through a back end 19 the drawings show only two conductors 21 but this is merely illustrative usually more conductors 21 are involved the conductors 21 are connected to the inward projections 23 of the pins or receptacles not shown by soldering or crimping a raised portion 17 of the housing 14 extends above the outer surface of the housing 14 in the embodiment shown in fig2 the raised portion 17 is formed as part of the molded metal housing 14 it is also contemplated that the raised portion 17 could be applied to the housing 14 in other ways for example the raised portion 17 could be glued or soldered to the housing 14 or the raised portion 17 of the housing 14 could be formed as part of a stamping process in any event persons skilled in the art will recognize that a raised portion 17 may be incorporated into or formed onto a housing 14 once.
