Abstract
A composite electrical connector assembly includes a housing, a shield, and an electrical contact. The housing is formed from a first material and has an interior chamber. The interior chamber includes a stepped cylindrical surface with first and second openings at mating and mounting ends of the housing, respectively. The interior chamber is staged in diameter to form front, intermediate and rear stages. The shield is formed from a second material and is shaped to fit within the interior chamber. The shield engages the rear stage of the interior chamber and is prevented from being removed from the second opening by the rear stage. The electrical contact is disposed within the interior chamber, is aligned along a longitudinal axis of the connector assembly and is configured to receive a center conductor of a cable and to connect with a conductor of a communication device.
