Connector with active shielding

摘要

An electrical connector includes one or more connector terminals, which are connected to wiring extending from the connector and are coupled to interconnect with corresponding connector terminals in a mating connector. An active shielding circuit is mounted adjacent to the connector terminals and is configured to sense a first magnetic field in a vicinity of the electrical connector and to generate, based on the sensed magnetic field, a second magnetic field that reduces interference induced in the wiring and the connector terminals by the first magnetic field.
