ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector having a dielectric housing and a plurality of internal cavities containing electrical contacts terminated to electrical leads which protrude from the housing is contained within a conductive shell. The shell is bifurcated longitudinally with each shell portion having a lip which interlocks on the dielectric housing when the shell portions are assembled together. Each shell portion includes a pair of flanges on opposite sides. The flanges project outwardly toward an open side of the shell portion to captivate the other shell portion. The flanges also are in laterally offset planes such that the shell portions are identical and when they are assembled their corresponding flanges are overlapped. Fasteners may be used to join the overlapped flanges. Also mounting bolts and the like may be assembled on the overlapped flanges for mounting the shell to a bulkhead or panel. Electrical leads protruding from the assembled shell may be encapsulated within the shell. Alternatively a metal outer sheath of the leads may be compressibly stuffed into a groove of the shell by a rigid metal ring.
