A screening enclosure and connection assembly 10 enables simple and effective connection of a coaxial cable core 55 to eg a circuit board 40 within the enclosure, and the cable outer screen 53 to the walls of the enclosure or to the ground plane of the circuit board, without the use of plug and socket arrangements. The sheathed core conductor of the cable is passed through an aperture 26 in the enclosure wall to a connection point 60 inside the enclosure, while an exposed portion of the outer screen is clamped 70 directly to an adjacent portion of the wall or of the ground plane. Preferably, the connection point 60 is a screw terminal and an access port 28 is provided in the wall. A common or plurality of clamps 70 is provided for several cables, and the clamp(s) can electrically contact the screen 53 by insulation piercing. The circuit board 40 is trapped in enclosure channels 30, 31 adjacent a rebate 23, 24, or supports the enclosure on one face that includes the ground plane (figure 5). |
