Abstract
An interconnecting device for electrically interconnecting a number of device terminals to a number of board terminals. The interconnecting device includes a housing which has a number of contact receiving slots wherein each slot receives one of a number of contacts. A shielding layer is provided to enhance noise immunity by shielding each contact against electromagnetic interference (EMI). The shielding layer absorbs stray radiated EMI from each one of the number of contacts and dissipates the absorbed energy as thermal energy.
