The present disclosure provides an electrical connector including an insulating housing, a number of terminals and a lossy member. The terminals include a number of ground terminals and a number of signal terminals. The ground terminals and the signal terminals are set adjacently to each other but do not contact each other. The ground terminals do not directly contact the lossy member. As a result, installation consistency of the ground terminals can be achieved, thereby improving the electrical performance of the electrical connector.

A high voltage connector, connected to a device, that experiences a reduced electromagnetic interference (EMI), avoids galvanic corrosion of dissimilar metals within or without a fluid environment, and provides an effective electrical ground system. The connector includes an outer housing assembly, an inner housing mounted inside the outer housing, a set of cable reinforcement retainer assemblies secured inside the inner housing, a back cover through which the cables respectively slide along and covers a central opening of the outer housing, a braided shield covering the cables, and a clamp that connects the shield onto the outer housing. When assembling the high voltage connector, the outer housing is mounted onto the device; the inner housing is secured inside the outer housing; the set of cable reinforcement retainer assemblies with associated cables is secured in and extends in a substantially vertical direction from the inner housing; a back cover is slid along the cables, and enters and covers a central opening of the outer housing; and a braided shield is mounted and connected to the outer housing by a clamp.

A connector assembly for connecting to a device which, when in operation, experiences reduced or suppressed EMI. The EMI flow path, generated by, e.g., at least a battery cable assembly or the like, housed within at least a male connector assembly or a female connector assembly, is conducted through at least an electrically conductive housing and an electrically conductive seal.

An electromagnetic interference (EMI) grounding protection method for a connector assembly using a multi-directional conductive housing. The method includes the steps of: conducting the EMI generated by a source towards a metallic braided shield, the metallic braided shield being secured and mounted onto the multi-directional conductive housing by a metallic clamp; conducting the EMI from the metallic braided shield to the metallic clamp and to the multi-directional conductive housing, the multi-directional conductive housing being mounted onto a metallic device by at least a metallic bolt and the bolt being accommodated within a corresponding metallic compression limiter; and thereafter, conducting the EMI: (1) from the metallic braided shield to the multi-directional conductive housing through the metallic compression limiters and through their respective bolts, and ultimately to the metallic device, and (2) from the metallic braided shield to the multi-directional conductive housing directly through conductive pads thereof, and ultimately to the metallic device.

Data/telecommunication cables that include one or more layers of an integral, bonded electromagnetic shield are described. The shield may be configured to form an electrical ground path.

A connector includes at least one ground contact, at least one signal contact, and a member disposed near the at least one ground contact. The member is made of a magnetic conductivity material or a low electrical conductivity metal. An insulation body is provided for housing the at least one ground contact and the at least one signal contact. The member may be arranged at least one of on or within the insulation body for reducing resonance energy generated by the at least one signal contact.

Technologies are described for devices and methods to prevent crosstalk. The devices may comprise a first and a second electromagnetic interference shield, each effective to prevent crosstalk between inner contacts and each may include a first flat plate and a second flat plate connected at a bend. The device may comprise an inner insulator. The inner insulator may include walls defining slots configured to receive the first and second electromagnetic interference shields and walls defining cavities configured to secure inner contacts to the inner insulator. The device may comprise the inner contacts and an outer insulator. The outer insulator may be configured to slide over and attach to the inner insulator. The device may comprise a ferrule and an outer body. The outer body may be configured to enclose the outer insulator, the inner insulator, the inner contacts, the electromagnetic interference shields, and at least part of the ferrule.
