Shielding braid termination for a shielded electrical connector

摘要

The present invention relates to shielded electrical cables and shielded electrical connectors to be affixed thereto, and in particular to the termination of the shielding braid provided at the electrical cable. According to the present invention, a shielding termination structure for engaging a shielding (104) of a shielded cable (100) having an insulated conductor (102) that is encompassed by said shielding is provided, said shielding termination structure (110) comprising:
an electrically conductive shield body (114) for establishing an electrical connection between said shielding (104) and an electrically conductive interface (118),
fixing means (126) for securing said shield body (114) at the interface (118);
an electrically conductive spring element (120) that is arranged between said shield body (114) and the interface (118) for establishing the electric contact in a compressed state of the spring element (120).
