ABSTRACT This invention relates to a connector assembly for termi- nating a double-shielded electrical cable and for maintaining total and continuous EMI shielding thereof. In high intensity EMI radia- tion fields, single layer shielding protection has generally proven inadequate. Furthermore, prior to the present invention, double- ended connector assemblies have not included EMI shielding. The present invention is therefore directed to an improved connector assembly including a plurality of conductors and electrically isolated inner and outer EMI shielding layers surrounding the con- dutors. The connector assembly includes a connector member having a plurality of contact elements, a mating portion for engaging a com- patible connector member, and a terminal portion for terminating the cable conductors to the contact elements. A shielding element is electrically connected to the outer shielding layer of the cable and substantially surrounds the terminal portion of the connector member to provide continuous shielding of the connector member from electro- magnetic interference, the shielding element being mechanically secured to the cable and to the connector member. Means are also provided for electrically connecting the inner shielding layer of the cable with one of the contact elements to thereby extend the double-shielding capability and characteristics of the cable through- out the entire connector assembly.
