ABSTRACT:
The invention pertains to a compact connector that accommodates a standard cable connector. By reducing the number of components at the interface, the invention allows a small form factor module to accommodate a cable connector that has thus been accommodated only by modules having larger dimensions. The device of the invention includes an electrically conductive lead protruding from a first outer surface of a connector housing and a shell disengageably coupled to the connector housing so as to form a cavity with the lead positioned therein, wherein the first outer surface forms an inner wall of the cavity. The invention also pertains to a module containing electrical components, including a lead, and a shell designed to hold a cable connector in contact with the lead. If the shell is made of a material that blocks electromagnetic radiation, the compact connector also serves as an EMI shield.
