Fully shielded backshell for electrical connector

摘要

A connector assembly (10) includes a connector (12) mounted within a backshell (24) and a biasing member (40) that forces the connector (12) into contact with a surface (34) of the backshell (24) to improve ground shield junction performance. The biasing member (40) extends into an internal space (26) defined by the backshell (24) and exerts a biasing force to reduce resistance between the connector (12) and the backshell (24). The reduced resistance provided by the biasing member (40) improves ground shield junction performance. against electromechanical interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI).
