Abstract
Capacitive coupling adapter (40) associated with a shielded electrical connector (12) and including at least one capacitive subassembly (54). Each capacitive subassembly (54) includes a capacitor (46) and a pair of contacts (50,52) engaged with respective electrodes thereof. One contact section (68) of a contact (52) extends from a surface (58) of the adapter housing (42) to engage a shell of a connector (12), and one contact section (64) of a contact (50) extends from an outer surface of housing (42) to engage a cutout peripheral surface (14) of a conductive panel (16) when the adapter/connector (40,12) is mounted in the cutout. The connector shell (22) is thus capacitively coupled to the panel.
