ABSTRACT:
An improved electrical connector assembly with EMI protection includes: (i) a conventional receptacle connector containing a plurality of electrically conductive pins surrounded by a receptacle flange, (ii) a conventional plug connector having a plurality of electrically conductive sockets surrounded by a plug flange, and (iii) an elastomeric belly band having conductive particles disposed throughout the band. The band is placed over the receptacle flange in tightly spaced relationship thereto, and the receptacle connector is mated with the plug connector to construct the assembly, such that the belly band covers both the plug and receptacle flanges to create a high conductivity path for impinging EMI. The EMI is attenuated within the band substantially reducing the detrimental effect of the EMI on the electrical signals conducted along the conductive pins/sockets. The band also creates an environmental seal which protects the electrically conductive sockets and pins for environmental contaminants such as moisture and corrosion.
