Abstract
A shielded, molded electrical connector includes a conductive sleeve surrounding an insert body housing the connector elements. A metal coupling member is received on the sleeve and in electrical continuity with the sleeve. An outer sheath formed of moldable thermoplastic material with wire strands embedded throughout forms a conductive shield from the sleeve to a braided shield (in the case of a cord set) or to a conductive shield on an insert body housing complementary connector elements (in the case of a splitter).
