Patent ID: 7695321

Claim:
Screened connector for electrical conductors, comprising paired connector assemblies, namely a first connector assembly and a second connector assembly, the connector assemblies comprising an insulator body made of molded material incorporating male and female contacts respectively, for mechanical fastening and electrical connection of contact terminals provided at the ends of the conductors to be connected, and a screening case that surrounds the insulator body, the screening cases of the connector assemblies having, respectively, facing end portions in the form of a skirt, one being superposed on the other, in order to produce a continuous screen between the first and second connector assemblies, wherein the screening cases are provided with a first and second mutual fastening means, wherein each screening case has the general shape of a hollow cylinder internally defining a continuous passage so that the insulator bodies are in contact with each other via a generally rectangular seal; wherein the end skirt of at least one of the screening cases includes at least one bump that comes into contact with the corresponding end skirt of the other case; wherein the seal comprises a first face and a second opposed face, wherein the first face bears against the insulator body of one of the connector assemblies, and wherein the second face comprises a peripheral bead that bears against the end edge of the screening case of the other connector assembly and projecting sealing lips, each being inserted into a portion of the opposed insulator body and in which a mechanical fastening/electrical connection contact is held in place.
