ABSTRACT:
A two part electrical connector, one part 10 of which comprises one or more electrical contacts 12 mounted in a connector shell 14 of insulating material. Around the contact or contacts 12 and connector shell 44 is a conductive casing 16 shaped to cooperate with a similar casing on the other part of the connector. The conductive casing 16 is electrically connected to the wire braiding 26 of the cable 22 via a metallic sleeve plate 24, to ensure continuity of the earth shielding across the connector. A non-conductive outer body 36 covers at least a part of the conductive casing b 16. Non-conductive material is also used for the clamp nut 40 which tightens the braiding clamp 30 and the connecting nut 44 which locks the two parts of the connector together. The resulting connector has earth shielding but no external conductive surfaces capable of being charged to high voltage potential should internal shorting occur.
