EMI shielded electrical connector and connection system

A shielded electrical connection system having a first electrical connector and a second electrical connector;

• the first electrical connector comprising a first inner insulator housing and a first outer housing of conductive material that has a plug portion,
• the second electrical connector comprising a second inner insulator housing and a second outer housing of conductive material that has a socket portion for receiving the plug portion of the first outer housing, and
• a first shunt member of conductive material contacting the plug portion and the socket portion when the plug portion is plugged into the socket portion to enhance electrical continuity between the first outer housing and the second outer housing;
• wherein the plug portion and the socket portion define a first shunt chamber, in which the first shunt member is disposed;
• and
• wherein one inner housing of the first inner insulator housing and the second inner insulator housing has a second shunt chamber, in which a second shunt member is disposed,
• wherein the one inner housing has an inner longitudinal terminal passage that extends through it from a terminal inlet to a terminal outlet, and
• wherein the shielded connection system includes a shielded electric cable that has a conductive core, an inner insulation jacket, a conductive shield outward of the inner insulation jacket, and an outer insulation jacket outward of the conductive shield, and a terminal that is attached to an end portion of the shielded electric cable and that is in electrical contact with the conductive core,
• the end portion of the shielded electric cable and the terminal being disposed in the terminal passage of the one inner housing with the shielded electric cable extending out of the terminal inlet of the terminal passage, and
• a cable seal that engages the outer insulation jacket of the shielded electric cable and one electrical connector of the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector to seal the inlet of the terminal passage.
