Composite electrical connector assembly

An electrical connector assembly comprising;

• a housing having an interior chamber comprising an inner surface, the inner surface having first and second openings at opposing sides of the housing, the interior chamber being staged in diameter to form front, intermediate and rear stages;
• a shield shaped to fit within the interior chamber, the shield engaging, at least one of the intermediate and rear stages of the interior chamber to prevent the shield from being removed from the first opening;
• and
• an electrical contact disposed within the interior chamber and aligned along a longitudinal axis of the connector assembly, the electrical contact having first and second ends, the first end being configured to receive a center conductor of a cable, the second end being configured to connect with a conductor of a communication device.

A composite electrical connector assembly comprising:

• a housing formed from a first material and comprising a mating end, a mounting end, and an interior chamber, the interior chamber comprising an inner surface with a first opening at the mating end and a second opening at the mounting end, the interior chamber having a plurality of inside diameters;
• a shield formed from a second material and shaped to fit within the interior chamber, the shield having an outside surface that engages the inner surface of the housing, at least a portion of the outside surface having an outside diameter that is larger than at least one of the inside diameters of the interior chamber;
• an electrical contact disposed within the interior chamber and configured to receive a center conductor of a cable;
• and
• a dielectric holder disposed between the electric contact and the shield, the dielectric holder electrically isolating the electrical contact from the shield.
