Abstract
An electrical connector assembly, wherein contacts contained therein are shielded from electromagnetic interference. A coupling nut 300 unites a first metal shell 100 having a flange 140 thereabout, with the flange 140 having a first groove 180 formed in the face thereof, and a cooperating groove 190 formed about the periphery of the front section of the shell 100, and a second metal shell 200 having an end wall 220. A metal to metal contact is assured between the flange 140 of the first shell 100 and the end wall 220 of the second shell by means of a resilient metal strap 500 positioned with said grooves, with the leg portion 510 in first groove 180 in contact with the end wall 220 and the stem portion 520 situated in cooperating groove 190 contacting the front section of the first shell 100 and front section of the second shell 200. The strap 500 is preferably formed with grooves 530 therein, adjacent grooves 530 extending from opposite sides of the strap to give the strap 500 a sinuous shape.
