Electromagnetic shield termination device

摘要

An electromagnetic shield termination assembly includes a wire assembly having an electrically conductive wire. An electromagnetic shield extends coaxially with the electrically conductive wire and covers at least a portion of a circumference of the electrically conductive wire, the electromagnetic shield and the electrically conductive wire covered thereby defining a shielded portion of the wire assembly. A non-shielded portion of the wire assembly extends outward of a terminal end of the electromagnetic shield. A termination device has an electrically conductive housing mounted to the wire assembly about the terminal end of the electromagnetic shield such that a portion of the housing engages a portion of the electromagnetic shield, and wherein the housing provides a flow path for an electrical current flowing in the electromagnetic shield.

1. An electromagnetic shield termination assembly comprising:
a wire assembly having an electrically conductive wire and an electromagnetic shield covering a portion of the electrically conductive wire and thereby defining a shielded portion of the wire assembly, a non-shielded portion of the wire assembly extending outwardly of a terminal end of the electromagnetic shield; a termination device having an electrically conductive housing mounted to the wire assembly about the terminal end of the electromagnetic shield such that a portion of the housing engages a portion of the electromagnetic shield and thereby provides a flow path for an electrical current flowing in the electromagnetic shield; and either: (1) an electrically conductive ground strap attached to the housing and to an electrical ground; or (2) a passage formed in the housing through which the wire assembly extends, a first electrically conductive member mounted between the electromagnetic shield and a surface of the passage in the housing that defines a portion of the flow path for the electrical current flowing in the electromagnetic shield, and a second electrically conductive member mounted between the first electrically conductive member and the surface of the passage in the housing that defines a portion of the flow path for the electrical current flowing in the electromagnetic shield.
