Abstract
Abstract The disclosure relates to a shielded and grounded connection (10) comprising a metal tubular housing (30) having a crimping sleeve (40) at one end thereof for mechanically and electrically engaging the grounding conductor (52) of an electrical cable (16). The housing (30) has means (20, 22) at the opposite end thereof for mechanically attaching said connector (10) to a complementary connector. An electrical cable has a portion (42) secured to said housing (30) by said crimping sleeve (40) and a plurality of conductors extending into the interior of said housing (30) for attachment to a plurality of electrical terminals.
