Abstract
An electrical header receptacle (10) is provided to be connected to a printed circuit board (11) and to be mounted in an enclosure (12). A housing (13) has a well (20) formed on the first side (16) of the base (15) of the housing (13). A metal shield (25) covers the second side (17) of the base (15) and is crimped over the base (15) so that a portion of the metal shield (15) covers a portion of the first side (16) of the base (15). A plurality of spaced-apart male contact pins (14) extend through respective openings in the metal shield (25) and base (15) exiting from the well (20) in the base (15). A sealant (33) is disposed in the well (20) and forms a waterproof seal about the plurality of male contact pins (14). The male contact pins (14) extend outwardly from the metal shield (25) and pass through an electromagnetic interference filter (35) and are connected to the printed circuit board (11). The plurality of male contact pins (14) are joined to the electromagnetic filter (35) to prevent passage of electromagnetic interferences therethrough. The electromagnetic filter (35) may be mounted vertically or horizontally with respect to the metal shield (25) and is electrically connected to the metal shield (25). A flange seal (40) is disposed between the first side (16) of the base (15) and the enclosure (12) to provide a waterproof seal. The portion of the metal shield (25) on the first side (16) of the base (15) makes electrical contact with the enclosure (12).
