Combustion chamber sensor connector

摘要

A combustion chamber sensor connector (2) comprises a conductive outer housing (4) within which is mounted a certain length of shielded cable connected to receptacle terminals (38) that receive pins of a sensor. A shield element (40) extends across the inside of the outer housing (4) to provide a shield means between the sensor and the cable leads (18). The shield (40) is an injection moulded conductive elastomer. Pads (86) of a similar material are moulded over portions (70) of the terminals. Filter elements (84) are positioned between the pads and the shield. The elastomeric shield and pads provide a shock resistant connection that is necessary for such applications. In-moulding of the shield also provide a compact and cost-effective design.
