Abstract
Electrical connector assembly includes a housing assembly having first and second housing shells that are coupled to each other along a housing seam and define an interior cavity therebetween. The housing seam extends along a three-dimensional (3D) path. The electrical connector assembly also includes an electrical connector having a back end that is disposed within the interior cavity and a front end that is configured to mate with an external mating connector. The electrical connector also including a conductive gasket having a 3D gasket frame that substantially matches the 3D path of the housing seam. The 3D gasket frame being a discrete structure that is positioned along the housing seam to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) leakage through the housing seam.
