A shielded electrical connector assembly is presented herein. The shielded electrical connector assembly includes a shield terminal having an attachment portion configured to be connected to a shield conductor of a coaxial cable and a connection portion configured to be received within a mating shield terminal and a contact cage surrounding a forward segment of the connection portion and slideably attached to the shield terminal. The contact cage defines a plurality of arcuate contact arms configured to be in intimate compressive contact with a mating shield terminal inner wall which causes the contact cage to extend rearwardly when the shield terminal is inserted within the mating shield terminal. Methods of forming and interconnecting a shielded electrical connector assembly are also presented herein.

Shielded electrical connector assembly

An assembly includes an elongate conductor, such as a coaxial electrical cable, having a generally circular cross section and a generally cylindrical seamless outer ferrule having a ferrule radius surrounding a portion of the conductor. The outer ferrule is deformed to define four indentations and four projections that are evenly spaced about a circumference of the outer ferrule. The four indentations have a consistent indentation radius that is less than the ferrule radius.

Conductor assembly with a crimped tubular ferrule and method of manufacturing same

A coaxial connector assembly is described herein. The coaxial connector assembly includes an inner contact that is configured to terminate a center conductor of a coaxial cable, an insulative inner sleeve holding the inner contact, a tubular outer contact surrounding the inner sleeve and the inner contact, said outer contact configured to terminate a shield braid of the coaxial cable and an insulative cylindrical outer sleeve defining a central cavity extending longitudinally therethrough in which said outer contact is disposed. The cavity has an opening configured to receive a corresponding coaxial connector. A lip on a forward end of the outer sleeve extends into the opening such that a forward edge of the outer contact is not exposed within the opening. The coaxial connector assembly may be configured to meet the FAKRA connector standards.
