Abstract
An electrical connector including a pair of interfittable shells 11, 21, an annular shield ring 60 for protecting electrical contacts carried therein from RFI/EMI interference and means for mounting the shield ring to one of the shells, the one shell 21 having a radial flange 22 forwardly of an annular groove 50 sized to receive an annular band 62 of the shield 60. The mounting means are solderless and comprise an annular compression ring 40 sized to circumpose the annular groove 50 and be plastically deformed therein. The annular groove includes a frusto-conical wall 54 which serves to control plastic deformation of compression ring 40 so as to invade the groove 50 to press against shield band 62 and thereby secure the ring therein. Means 63 for resisting rotation of the shield ring are provided.
