Abstract
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.
