.~ Having means for electrically connecting shield of shielded cable to connector shield member
DEFINITION
Classification: 439/610
Having means for electrically connecting shield of shielded cable to connector shield member:
(under subclass 607) Electrical connector wherein the conductive screen means comprises a conductive member for surrounding one or more contacts, which conductive member forms an outer screen contact of a coupling part*, which coupling part is specially adapted to mate or interengage with a complementary counterpart* having a screen counter-contact*, so that, when the screen contact is electrically engaged with the complementary screen counter-contact of the counterpart, the conductive path of the screen means extends over both the coupling part and its counterpart, and wherein the conductive screen member of the coupling part further includes means specially adapted to electrically connect the conductive shielding sheath of a shielded cable* to the conductive screen member.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
98+, for an electrical connector having a safety grounding provision and having means for grounding to a conductive sheath of a cable.
274, 275 and 279, for an electrical connector combined with a distinct cable sheath sealing element or material, which connector may also provide inductive or capacitive shielding.
578+, for an electrical connector specially adapted for use with coaxial cables, which connector often includes an inductive or capacitive shielding function.
