Current-mode coupler with improved grounding

摘要

A current mode coupler for an unshielded twisted-pair cable includes an arrangement for establishing a low impedance, multiple point-of-contact electrical connection between a shielding base and cover(2). The grounding arrangement includes a conductive member (33) on the cover which has an extension (34) in the direction of assembly of the base to the cover, and resilient grounding fingers on the base for providing a wiping contact with the extensions on the conductive member when the base and cover are assembled to each other. $$
