  • Patent number: 5741143
    Abstract: A combustion chamber sensor connector comprises a conductive outer housing within which is mounted a certain length of shielded cable connected to receptacle terminals that receive pins of a sensor. A shield element extends across the inside of the outer housing to provide a shield means between the sensor and the cable leads. The shield is an injection molded conductive elastomer. Pads of a similar material are molded over portions of the terminals. Filter elements are positioned between the pads and the shield. The elastomeric shield and pads provide a shock resistant connection that is necessary for such applications. In-molding of the shield also provide a compact and cost-effective design.
