Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to an apparatus. The apparatus can include a housing having a compression limiter. The apparatus can include a cutting fastener coupled with a portion of the compression limiter. The apparatus can include an over-molded conductive material that can couple with a portion of the housing to form a conductive path between the compression limiter and the cutting fastener.
Claims18
A header apparatus, comprising:
- a housing comprising a compression limiter;
- a cutting fastener coupled with a portion of the compression limiter;
- an over-molded conductive material configured to couple with the housing between a top surface and a bottom surface of the housing to form a conductive path between the compression limiter and the cutting fastener;
- a grounding shield coupled with the housing;
- and
- the grounding shield includes a protrusion configured to contact the over-molded conductive material.
