Abstract A shielding arrangement for eliminating electromagnetic interference in an electrical connector. A first shell member contains a bore portion on its outer surface and an annular groove adjacent to the bore portion. A conductive shielding member having a section contiguous to the bore portion and a first spring portion adjacent one side of the surface snaps into the groove for removably securing the shield to the shell and a second spring portion adjacent the other side of the section. The second spring portion may be formed at an acute angle with respect to the section and yieldable to provide good electrical contact between the first shell member and a second shell member movable with respect to said first shell member. The first shell member may contain a second annular groove opposite the first annular groove, the shield section at junction of the section and the second spring member being insertable into the second annular groove. Further, the spring members may be formed of finger portions.
A shielding arrangement for eliminating electromagnetic interference in an electrical connector comprising: a shell member having a longitudinally extending axis and having a groove on its outer surface defined by a first surface concentric with the axis of said shell member and a second and third surface, one end of said second and third surfaces extending normally and outwardly from said first surface at opposite ends thereof, respectively, and projections extending from the other ends of said second and third surfaces towards each other and concentrically with said first surface; and a conductive shielding member comprising a first section position adjacent said first surface, a second section extending from one end of said first section and being positioned adjacent said second surface and held by the adjacent projection, and a third section having one end positioned against said third surface and extending from the other end of said first section at an acute angle toward said second section.

A shielding arrangement for eliminating electromagnetic interference in an electrical connector comprising: a shell member having a longitudinally extending axis and having a groove on its outer surface defined by a first surface concentric with the axis of said shell member and a second and third surface, one end of said second and third surfaces extending normally and outwardly from said first surface at opposite ends thereof, respectively, and projections extending from the other ends of said second and third surfaces towards each other and concentrically with said first surface; and a conductive shielding member comprising a first section position adjacent said first surface, a second section extending from one end of said first section and being positioned adjacent said second surface and held by the adjacent projection, and a third section having one end positioned against said third surface and extending from the other end of said first section at an acute angle toward said second section.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
