Abstract
In one embodiment, an electrical connector is disclosed. The electrical connector comprises a shell having a mating end and a cable end. The shell has a cavity with at least one conductor therein. The at least one conductor is arranged at the mating end for termination to a mating connector. The shell has a cable extending from the cavity through the cable end being electrically connected to the at least one conductor. The electrical connector also includes a shielding insert received proximate to the cable end. The shielding insert circumferentially surrounds the cable and is configured to block transmission of electromagnetic radiation through the cable end.
Claims20
A cable connector comprising:
- a shell having a mating end and a cable end, the shell having a cavity with at least one conductor therein arranged at the mating end for termination to a mating connector, the shell defining a pocket in the cavity proximate to the cable end, the shell having a cable extending from the cavity through the cable end, the cable passing through the pocket and being electrically connected to the at least one conductor;
- and
- a shielding insert proximate to the cable end, the shielding insert circumferentially surrounding the cable and configured to block transmission of electromagnetic radiation through the cable end, the shielding insert being molded in place in the pocket around the cable.
A cable connector comprising:
- a shell having a mating end and a cable end, the shell having a cavity with at least one conductor therein arranged at the mating end for termination to a mating connector, the shell having a cable extending from the cavity through the cable end, the cable being electrically connected to the at least one conductor, the shell defining a pocket in the cavity proximate to the cable end with the cable passing through the pocket;
- a shielding insert received in the pocket, the shielding insert circumferentially surrounding the cable and configured to block transmission of electromagnetic radiation through the cable end;
- the shielding insert including a front segment and a rear segment, the front segment being formed from a first material, the rear segment being formed of a second material different than the first material;
- the first material having a higher electromagnetic radiation absorbing characteristic than the second material.
A cable connector comprising:
- a shell having a mating end and a cable end, the shell having a cavity with at least one conductor therein arranged at the mating end for termination to a mating connector, the shell having a cable extending from the cavity through the cable end, the cable being electrically connected to the at least one conductor, the shell defining a pocket in the cavity proximate to the cable end with the cable passing through the pocket;
- a shielding insert received in the pocket, the shielding insert circumferentially surrounding the cable and configured to block transmission of electromagnetic radiation through the cable end;
- the shielding insert including a front segment and a rear segment, the front segment being formed from a first material, the rear segment being formed of a second material different than the first material;
- the first material being conductive, the second material being non-conductive.
