Abstract
Abstract The invention is an EMI shielded electrical connector characterized by a molded plastic housing (20) that has embedded therein an electrically conductive wire mesh (10). The wire mesh (10) includes an electrically exposed internal shoulder (11) and ends (12 and 13) that may be connected to other electrically conductive members to ground out unwanted electromagnetic interference.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
95 words
An EMI shielded connector assembly of the type having a tubular plastic outer housing (20), a dielectric insert (30) having a plurality of axial passages therein, said insert (30) mounted in said plastic outer housing (20), and a plurality of electrically conductive contacts (40) mounted in respective passages in said dielectric insert (30), the invention wherein said plastic outer housing is characterized by: an electrically conductive foraminous sleeve (10) embedded in the plastic outer housing (20), the inside surface and outside surface of said sleeve (10) completely covered by the material of said plastic housing.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
95 words
An EMI shielded connector assembly of the type having a tubular plastic outer housing (20), a dielectric insert (30) having a plurality of axial passages therein, said insert (30) mounted in said plastic outer housing (20), and a plurality of electrically conductive contacts (40) mounted in respective passages in said dielectric insert (30), the invention wherein said plastic outer housing is characterized by: an electrically conductive foraminous sleeve (10) embedded in the plastic outer housing (20), the inside surface and outside surface of said sleeve (10) completely covered by the material of said plastic housing.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
63 words
The EMI shielded connector as recited in Claim 1 further characterized by: an electrically conductive annular shoulder (11) extending radially inward from said tubular plastic housing (20), said conductive annular shoulder (11) electrically connected to said electrically conductive foraminous sleeve (10), the ends (12, 13) of said sleeve (10) and said shoulder (11) being exposed for electrical connection to another electrically conducting member.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
The EMI shielded connector as recited in Claim 1 wherein said foraminous sleeve (10) is comprised of an electrically conducting wire mesh and said annular shoulder (11) is an integral part of said mesh.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
34 words
The EMI shielded connector as recited in Claim 2 wherein said foraminous sleeve (10) is comprised of an electrically conducting wire mesh and said annular shoulder (11) is an integral part of said mesh.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
23 words
The EMI shielded connector as recited in Claim 3 wherein the holes (14) in said sleeve (10) are about 8-12 millimeters (.003-.005 inches).
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
23 words
