Abstract
A connector assembly includes a connector mounted within a backshell and a biasing member that forces the connector into contact with a surface of the backshell to improve ground shield junction performance. The biasing member extends into an internal space defined by the backshell and exerts a biasing force to reduce resistance between the connector and the backshell. The reduced resistance provided by the biasing member improves ground shield junction performance against electromechanical interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI).
