<p>A conductive fiber, composite, electrical connector shell member (12,16) composed of a multiplicity of conductive fibers (64) aligned within a resinous substance (62) operable to provide electro-magnetic interference protection for electrical connecting leads in dielectric inserts (18,20,21) within the shell member is disclosed. Embodiments include conductive fiber fillers (64) of nickel-plated graphite, non-plated graphite and stainless steel. Alternative embodiments include resinous substances of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and liquid crystal polymers (LCP). A method of fabrication utilizing a multi-part mold with center-loaded sprue for the composite electrical connector wherein 40% by weight of the connector is the nickel-plated graphite and 60% resin is also described. A coupling ring (14) may also be fabricated in like manner. Metal layers (66,68,70,72) are successively plated over the shell members (12,16) and coupling ring (14). <IMAGE></p> |
