Patent ID: 7393218

Claim:
A connector assembly for use with a device having a conductive device shroud forming a device plug receptacle, the connector assembly comprising: at least one cable element comprising: an internal cable conductor; a cable conductor insulator surrounding said internal cable conductor; a cable ground shield surrounding said cable conductor insulator; a cable outer insulator surrounding said cable ground shield; a first stripped cable end portion exposing said internal cable conductor; a second stripped cable portion adjacent said first stripped cable end portion exposing said cable conductor insulator; a third stripped cable portion adjacent said second stripped cable portion exposing said cable ground shield; and an unstripped cable portion adjacent said third stripped cable portion exposing said cable outer insulator; a terminal element mounted to said first stripped cable end portion; a ground busbar including a cable mount end and a ground terminal end, said cable mount end mounted to said third stripped cable portion; a conductive overmolded connector body molded over said at least one cable element and extended between said second stripped portion and said unstripped portion, said conductive overmolded connector body comprising: a wire arm surround portion covering at least a portion of said unstripped portion; a connector plug portion covering at least a portion of said second stripped portion, said connector plug portion configured to fit within the device plug receptacle; and a connector bolt tower portion including a tower bolt receiving surface, said ground terminal end protruding outside said conductive overmolded connector body in proximity to said tower bolt receiving surface; at least one conductive connector bolt positioned through said connector bolt tower portion, said at least one conductive connector bolt configured to retain said conductive overmolded connector body in contact with the device, said at least one conductive connector bolt configured to place said ground terminal end in electrical communication with the conductive device shroud.
