Electrical connector assembly and method of assembly

摘要

A method is provided for assembling a connector assembly (10, 110) to a case (12, 112). The case (12, 112) includes an inside surface (14, 114) defining an inside of the case (12, 112), an outside surface (16, 116) defining an outside of the case (12, 112), and an aperture (18, 118) therethrough providing communication from the inside surface (14, 114) to the outside surface (16, 116). The connector assembly (10, 110) includes an outer connector (20, 120) having a body (30, 130) with a passage (36, 136) therethrough, an electromagnetic shield (24, 124), and an inner connector (22, 122) with a terminal (74, 174) therein with a conductor (75, 175) extending from the inner connector (22, 122) in electrical communication with the terminal (74, 174). The method includes positioning the outer connector (20, 120) on the outside of the case (12, 112) to align the passage (36, 136) of the outer connector (20, 120) with the aperture (18, 118) of the case (12, 112). The method also includes positioning the inner connector (22, 122) on the inside of the case (12, 112). The method also includes inserting the inner connector (22, 122) into the passage (36, 136) of the outer connector (20, 120) from the inside of the case (12, 112).
