Abstract
A grounding device for maintaining a ground path between a component of a connector and an interface port when the grounding device flexes includes a sealing member configured to form a conductive ground path between a component of a connector and an interface port. The sealing member comprises a sealing portion that is configured to overlie a grounding portion toward a radial direction of the connector when the connector is assembled, and the sealing portion and the grounding portion of the sealing member are configured to flex when a force is applied to the sealing member so as to maintain a ground path between the component of the connector and the interface port when the sealing portion and the grounding portion flex and when a force is applied to the sealing member during operation of the connector.
