A connector assembly may include a housing that retains one or more contacts, a cable having a shield that surrounds one or more conductors that electrically connect to the one or more contacts, and a backshell that secures the housing to the cable. The backshell may include at least one wall having a backshell outer surface and a backshell inner surface, and one or more through-holes formed through the at least one wall. Each through-hole forms a current path between the backshell outer surface and the backshell inner surface.
