Abstract
A multi-shell mated connector operable to provide electromagnetic interference (EMI), shielding protection for electrical circuits. This improved connector having at least one EMI seal may also incorporate a separate and additional EMI seal to function as an environmental seal to protect the connector pins from the outside environment. The preferred embodiment of this device is most suited for use in D style connectors which previously lacked effective EMI shielding between distinct, but mated connectors.
