METHOD FOR SHIELDING AND GROUNDING A CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY FROM ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI) USING A MALE/FEMALE JOINT STAMPED SHIELD AND CONDUCTIVE SEAL

摘要

A method for shielding and grounding a connector assembly from electromagnetic interference (EMI) including at least one of a step of directing the EMI to at least an electrically conducting seal, and a step of directing the EMI to at least a male/female joint stamped shield. The EMI, generated by, e.g., at least a battery cable assembly or the like, housed within at least a male connector assembly or a female connector assembly of the connector assembly, has a flow path that is conducted through at least the electrically conductive seal and the male/female joint stamped shield of the connector assembly.
