Abstract
A metal junction box effects connection of a cable (13) having a grounding shield (15) surrounding insulated electrical conductors (17) which extending out from the end of the said shield, and connected to a multi-pin connector plug (10). The box is equipped with a sleeve (4) over which the grounding shield (15) is fitted and held in place around the sleeve by a ferrule (19). The box is formed by a bracket (1) consisting of a central arm (2) and two, right angle side arms (3). Two lateral covers (11), have flanges (12) orthagonal to the planes of the covers (11). The sleeve (4) is coaxial of the bracket. The bracket (1) includes on its two side arms (3) two double mounting lugs (6) against which the two covers (11) are screwed from opposite sides. The ends of the two side arms terminate in tabs (7) directed toward each other. A metal plate (9) of the connector plug ( 10) is pressed at its ends against the tabs (7). The flanges of the cover (11) overlie the edges of the bracket (1) and aligned edges of the metal plate (9). The box physically protects the conductors (17), holds the cable (13) in place and provides excellent shielding due to the good electrical contact between the grounding shield (15) and the box and the presence of the flanges (12) surrounding the edges of the bracket (1) and the metal plate (9) of the connector plug (10).
