A method for reducing the effect of electromagnetic interference to provide EMI protection to a connector assembly having at least one electrically conductive seal (18, 40), a female connector assembly, and a male connector assembly, said method comprising the steps of: conducting said EMI, generated by at least a wire housed within said female connector assembly, to a corresponding wire shielding that respectively surrounds said wire and to a corresponding crimped ferrule that surrounds said wire shielding; conducting said EMI to a corresponding electrically conductive silicone back seal that respectively directly contacts said crimped ferrule, said electrically conductive silicone back seal being housed within and directly contacting at least a portion of a female outer housing of said female connector assembly, wherein said conductive silicone back seal is inserted inside a back portion of said female outer housing; conducting said EMI to said female connector assembly, said female connector assembly having a portion thereof being in contact with another electrically conductive silicone seal, said another electrically conductive silicone seal being located between and in direct contact with said portion of said female connector assembly and a portion of a male outer housing of said male connector assembly, wherein said another conductive silicone seal is disposed between and in direct contact with said portion of said male outer housing and an extending member of said female outer housing, wherein said another conductive silicone seal surrounds said extending member, wherein said portion of said male outer housing surrounds said another conductive silicone seal; conducting said EMI to said portion of said male connector assembly that surrounds and contacts said another electrically conductive silicone seal, said EMI being further conducted to said male connector assembly and towards a flange of said male connector assembly, said flange accommodating at least a limiter that in turn accommodates therein a respective bolt that connects or mounts said connector assembly to a device, wherein exposed sides of said flange are surrounded in their entireties by a non-conductive over-molded seal; conducting said EMI from said flange to said limiter and to said bolt that surrounds and contacts thereto, and subsequently, conducting said EMI through said bolt and to said device onto which said connector assembly is connected or mounted. conducting said EMI, generated by at least a wire housed within said female connector assembly, to a corresponding wire shielding that respectively surrounds said wire and to a corresponding crimped ferrule that surrounds said wire shielding; conducting said EMI to a corresponding electrically conductive silicone back seal that respectively directly contacts said crimped ferrule, said electrically conductive silicone back seal being housed within and directly contacting at least a portion of a female outer housing of said female connector assembly, wherein said conductive silicone back seal is inserted inside a back portion of said female outer housing; conducting said EMI to said female connector assembly, said female connector assembly having a portion thereof being in contact with another electrically conductive silicone seal, said another electrically conductive silicone seal being located between and in direct contact with said portion of said female connector assembly and a portion of a male outer housing of said male connector assembly, wherein said another conductive silicone seal is disposed between and in direct contact with said portion of said male outer housing and an extending member of said female outer housing, wherein said another conductive silicone seal surrounds said extending member, wherein said portion of said male outer housing surrounds said another conductive silicone seal; conducting said EMI to said portion of said male connector assembly that surrounds and contacts said another electrically conductive silicone seal, said EMI being further conducted to said male connector assembly and towards a flange of said male connector assembly, said flange accommodating at least a limiter that in turn accommodates therein a respective bolt that connects or mounts said connector assembly to a device, wherein exposed sides of said flange are surrounded in their entireties by a non-conductive over-molded seal; conducting said EMI from said flange to said limiter and to said bolt that surrounds and contacts thereto, and subsequently, conducting said EMI through said bolt and to said device onto which said connector assembly is connected or mounted.
