  • Publication number: 20240204448
    Abstract: A connector comprises a housing, a signal contact, an outer shield, a first potting reservoir, and a second potting reservoir. The signal contact is arranged within the housing, and the outer shield defines a standing wall surrounding the signal contact in a circumferential direction. The first potting reservoir is defined by a first face of the standing wall and a second face of the standing wall facing opposite the first face. The standing wall forms a boundary between the first potting reservoir and the second potting reservoir and defines a passage adapted to permit an uncured potting agent to pass between the first potting reservoir and the second potting reservoir.
