ABSTRACT:
An ESD protection subassembly for a conductively-case module having an electrical connector mounted thereon, uses a conductive shield shell member formed about the connector and connected to the module conductive case; the shell member has at least one conductive door member mounted thereon by associated hinge formations having spring-like mechanisms for urging the door members to close off an opening in the shell member whenever the module is not mated with an associated receptacle connector. A substantially complete conductive peripheral enclosure is thus formed for the module and its attached connector, whether the module is mounted in a larger assembly with its complementary connector actually mated with the module-mounted connector, or if the module has been removed from the rack assembly.
