ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly includes a two piece die-casted conductive shell that is adapted to be clamped onto a shielded electrical connector. The electrical connector may be formed of a dielectric housing with four sidewalls extending between a mating end and a wire receiving end. A plurality of contacts disposed in the housing are adapted to be connected to conductors extending into the wire receiving end of the electrical connector. A stamped and formed conductive shield surrounds at least a portion of the housing sidewalls. The two piece die-casted or molded plastic shell is formed by the mating of two shell portions with a set of screws projecting through one of the shell portions into the other of the shell portions. When so mated, the shell engages the connector shield to thereby couple the shell to the connector shield and a pocket is formed adjacent the wire receiving end of the electrical connector for enclosing splices between the shielded conductors in a cable and the conductors extending out from the wire receiving end of the electrical connector. In addition, the rear end of the mated shell portions form a wire clamping section for coupling the shell to a braided shield of the cable and for providing a strain relief for the cable. The wire clamping section may be disposed so that the cable is held at a desired angle with respect to the electrical connector housing.
