SHIELD TERMINATION CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR USING THE SAME

摘要

Shielding of electrical wires from radiated energy and lightning is critical to protecting the integrity of electronic components. A shield termination electrical connector assembly uses a termination adapter having elongated termination holes and feed channels leading into the termination holes to facilitate the process of guiding the shields into the proper termination slots. Moreover, flexible braided wires may be connected to the shields and terminated in the termination adapter. These flexible braided wires are compressed in the termination adapter instead of the shields, thus preventing damage to the shields to ensure their functionality.
