A multi-shell mated connector operable to provide electromagnetic interference (EMI), shielding protection for electrical circuits. This improved connector having at least one EMI seal may also incorporate a separate and additional EMI seal to function as an environmental seal to protect the connector pins from the outside environment. The preferred embodiment of this device is most suited for use in D style connectors which previously lacked effective EMI shielding between distinct, but mated connectors.

Electromagnetic interference connector

A modular air shut-off valve, particularly useful within the air conditioning environmental control system of an aircraft, is provided, which comprises a housing sized for insertion into a duct of the air conditioning system, a vane pivotally mounted within the housing for pivotal movement between open and closed positions and having flexible portions along its edges contacting the housing in the closed position for providing a resilient seal and to allow pressure relief in the event of overpressure within the duct.
