Die cast electrical connector shell with integral trapezoidal shield and offset cable gripping teeth, and electrical contact arrangement therefor

摘要

A die cast metal shell for an electrical connector is made up of a base and cover. Cable braid deforming teeth are die cast into a cable entry passage at the rear of the shell, and a thin wall front shield is integrally die cast with the base to provide a low resistance path between the cable braid and the front shield. A circuit board may be positioned in a backshell portion of the base, the circuit board including traces to which wires of the cable are terminated and extending forwardly from the backshell through a relatively narrow front opening to form a set of contacts for the connector.
