Abstract
An electrical connector having a plug means with a plug shell and a receptacle means with a receptacle shell receivable within said plug shell in coaxial relation for interconnecting a plurality of electrical conductors; and an annular resilient member between said plug and receptacle shells for providing a low resistance electrical connection between said shells, bridging the annular space therebetween, and shielding against transmission of radio frequencies. An annular biased frequency interference shielding member having securement tabs for mounting said annular member in said plug shell, and having folded resilient fingers having base and distal portions respectively engagable with said plug and receptacle shells under resilient pressure engagement. A method of making an annular resilient frequency shielding member whereby said folded resilient fingers are precisely dimensioned and whereby forming of said fingers about an axis provides minimal space intervals between adjacent edges of adjacent resilient fingers so that virtually 360.degree. shielding integrity is afforded.
