Abstract
An internal shelled connector, mounted on electric equipment having a grounded chassis panel, for mating with an external cable connector. The connector is encapsulated by a conducting shell for electrostatic shield, except at an opening for receiving the external connector through a corresponding window of the panel. A contact, formed on the shell maintains pressure on a back surface of the panel to ground the shell. The contact may be a flange formed at a tip of a blade spring formed integrally continuous with the conducting shell. The flange maintains a persistent electric contact with the panel, even if the panel and the mounted shelled connector are partially separated due to mechanical stress, when plugging in or pulling out the external cable connector.
