Patent ID: 7828593

Claim:
A shielded electrical connector, comprising: a. a single-pole electrical connector rated for currents of 200 amps or more and for voltages of 500 volts or more; b. an electrically conductive, generally cylindrical outer shell having an internal electrical contact region; c. an electrically insulating layer positioned between the single-pole connector and the electrically conductive outer shell; and, d. a generally cylindrical shielding trap configured to provide an electrical connection between a shielding material of a high-power, electrical cable and the internal electrical contact region of the electrically conductive outer shell, wherein the shielding trap further comprises i. a first cylindrical ring having a first shielding contact; and, ii. a second cylindrical ring having a second shielding contact, such that the shielding may be positioned between the first and second shielding contacts and secured in such position by the first and second cylindrical rings.
