Abstract: A shielded connector assembly for interconnecting individual conductors in an electrical wire harness is provided with a ground ring which eliminates unshielded conductor wire segments after the individual conductor shielding has been stripped. A filter ring assembly is included in the connector assembly for filtering high frequency signals to eliminate cross talk between high and low frequency signal conductors in the same wire harness. Transmission leakage is also eliminated at the juncture between the individual conductors and a circuit board included in the assembly.

Abstract: Multiple conductor wire harnesses in aircraft or the like are interconnected by a single low profile compact backshell assembly. The backshell assembly includes a housing which shields the individual conductors in the housing from ambient EMI noise. The housing has one or more wire harness inlet assemblies and a plurality of outlet sockets. One or more semi-flexible circuit boards are disposed in the housing and are operable to interconnect the individual conductor wires in each inlet with pin and socket conductor connections at the respective outlets. The circuit board provides interconductor EMI noise shielding inside of the housing. Splice connections between conductors can be formed as necessary within the circuit board inside of the housing to allow any degree of inlet to outlet conductor signal paths to be formed inside of the housing as are desired.
