  • Slotted, clamped termination ring for an electrical connector assembly
    Patent number: 9413116
    Abstract: A termination ring for an electrical connector has slots for receiving multiple inner conductive shields of a cable. The shields pass through the slots, are folded back onto a rear portion of the termination ring, and are clamped onto the termination ring. After assembling a backshell onto the connector over the termination ring, a void remains between the interior surface of the backshell and the clamped inner conductive shields, thereby enabling proper mechanical engagement of the connector, termination ring, and backshell.
