Low cost electrical cable connector housings and cable heads manufactured from conductive loaded resin-based materials

Abstract

Electrical connector housings are formed of a conductive loaded resin-based material which provides superior protection from EMI and RFI by absorbing such interfering signals. The conductive loaded resin-based material comprises micron conductive powder(s), conductive fiber(s), or a combination thereof, in a base resin host. The percentage by weight of the conductive powder(s), conductive fiber(s), or a combination thereof is between about 20% and 40% of the weight of the conductive loaded resin-based material. The micron conductive powders are formed from non-metals, such as carbon, graphite, that may also be metallic plated, or the like, or from metals such as stainless steel, nickel, copper, silver, that may also be metallic plated, or the like, or from a combination of non-metal, plated, or in combination with, metal powders. The micron conductor fibers preferably are of nickel plated carbon fiber, stainless steel fiber, copper fiber, silver fiber, or the like.
