Abstract:
A shielded connector assembly, comprising:a cable interface assembly for establishing an electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield for shielding an area, said shield being formed of multiple components assembled together with a joint between the components of the shield, said joint being susceptible to EMI; anda connector, electrically shielded by said cable interface assembly, for connecting a conductive wire to an electronic assembly, the components of the cable interface assembly further including:at least two interface plates mated at an interface for establishing said joint and at least one opening of said joint being configured to reflect EMI away from the shielded area; andat least one cable bushing for receiving said conductive wire, mounted between said interface plates in said at least one opening, wherein an interface between said cable bushing and said mating interface plates comprises at least two perpendicular surfaces to reflect EMI from the shielded area.
