Electrical connector comprising two sleeves defining a closed equipotential cavity around a contact zone

An electrical connector comprising:

• a first contact intended for being connected to a first electrical cable, and a second contact intended for being connected to a second electrical cable, the connector being movable along a connection axis between a connected configuration, wherein the first contact and the second contact are in electrical contact with each other and define a contact zone, and a disconnected configuration wherein the first contact is distant from the second contact, and
• a first sleeve and a second sleeve attached to and surrounding the first contact and the second contact, respectively, the first sleeve and the second sleeve forming a box in the connected configuration, the box defining a cavity around the contact zone,
• the first sleeve comprising:
• a first radially outer wall with respect to the connection axis, and a first radially inner wall, the first radially outer wall being electrically conductive and intended for being electrically connected to a shielding braid of the first electrical cable, the first radially inner wall being electrically conductive and electrically connected to the first contact, and
• a first electrically insulating medium extending between, on the one hand, the first radially outer wall and, on the other hand, the first contact and the first radially inner wall,
• the second sleeve comprising:
• a second radially outer wall and a second radially inner wall, the second radially outer wall being electrically conductive and intended for being electrically connected to a shielding braid of the second electrical cable, the second radially inner wall being electrically conductive and electrically connected to the second contact, and
• a second electrically insulating medium extending between, on the one hand, the second radially outer wall and, on the other hand, the second contact and the second radially inner wall,
• the first radially outer wall and the second radially outer wall being, in the connected configuration, in electrical contact with each other and forming a continuous outer surface of the box,
• the first radially inner wall and the second radially inner wall in the connected configuration being in electrical contact with each other and forming a continuous inner surface.
