Composite electrical connector assembly

摘要

A composite electrical connector assembly (260) comprises a housing (262) formed from a first material. The housing (262) includes a mating end (286), a mounting end (266), and an interior chamber (336). The interior chamber (336) has an inner surface (338) with a first opening (288) at the mating end (286), a second opening (268) at the mounting end (266), and a plurality of inside diameters (270, 276, 290). A shield (264) formed from a second material is disposed within the interior chamber (336). The shield (264) has an outside surface (354) that engages the inner surface (338) of the housing (262), and at least a portion (346) of the outside surface (354) of the shield (264) has an outside diameter that is larger than at least one of the inside diameters (276) of the interior chamber (336). An electrical contact (108) is disposed within the interior chamber (336) and is configured to receive a center conductor of a cable. A dielectric holder is disposed between the electrical contact (108) and the shield (264), the dielectric holder electrically isolating the electrical contact (108) from the shield (264).
