Abstract:
1. A receiving connector assembly, comprising: a terminal assembly including a cable having an electrically-conductive core strand, electrically non-conductive wire insulation surrounding the core strand, an electrically-conductive shield layer surrounding the wire insulation and an electrically non-conductive sheath surrounding the shield layer, an electrically-conductive terminal piece connected to the core strand, a longitudinally-extending cavity block member defining a cavity block member passageway extending longitudinally through the cavity block member with the terminal piece slidably received and fixed in the cavity block member passageway, a longitudinally-extending, electrically-conductive shielding member defining a shielding member passageway extending longitudinally through the shielding member with the cavity block member slidably received and fixed in the shielding member passageway with the shielding member connected to the shield layer and a seal connected to the cable and surrounding and in contact with the sheath; and a connector housing having a forward connector housing portion and a rearward connector housing portion connected to the forward connector housing portion, the rearward connector housing portion defining a terminal assembly conduit sized and adapted to slidably receive and fixedly retain the terminal assembly therein in a close fitting relationship, the rearward connector housing portion having a first rearward connector housing part extending rearwardly from and exteriorly of the forward connector housing portion and a second rearward connector housing part integrally connected to the first rearward connector housing part and extending forwardly into the forward connector housing portion such that the forward connector housing portion surrounds the second rearward connector housing part, the second rearward connector housing part being disposed in a spaced apart manner from the forward connector housing to define an annular cavity between the forward connector housing portion and the second rearward connector housing part.
