Abstract: An electrical interconnection system with an adapter mounted in an opening within a connector interface of a panel of an electronic enclosure is described. A sealing member may be used to prevent passage of foreign matter, such as liquid, gas or dust particles into the enclosure and into the mating region between the adapter and a mating plug connector. The sealing member may comprise a base and a sidewall configured to wrap around an outer border of the adapter. The sealing member may be configured to form a first sealing interface with the panel, and a second sealing interface with the plug connector. The first and second sealing interfaces may be orthogonal to each other. The sealing member may be made of an elastic material.

Abstract: A modular connector system with components that can be economically assembled to provide high signal integrity in a harsh environment, such as an automobile. In some connectors, electrical conductors serving as signal conductors may be at least partially encircled by a conductive sheet formed into a tube. The tube may be formed by joining opposite edges of the sheet with tab portions extending from the edges. The tab portions may be bent to extend radially outwards from the cavity and crimped together, providing mechanical integrity to the shield, as well as a tab that polarizes the shield to block incorrect insertion into an insulative housing and can engage with components in the insulative housing to latch the shield in the housing. Other disclosed techniques economically and stably position electrical conductors, which may serve as signal terminals relative to ground structures, electrically and mechanically connect shields, or compensate for impedance variations.
