  • Housing and cable with electromagnetic interference shielding
    Patent number: 6459040
    Abstract: A housing has an electric cable passing through an electromagnetic interference shielding wall. The wall has an edge and a recess bordering the edge. When the cable is introduced into the recess the cable is electrically connected to the shielding through a contact in or adjacent the recess, and a fastening element on the cable mates with a receiving element on the wall adjacent the recess. The fastening and receiving elements cooperate to absorb any mechanical pull loads on the cable without disturbing the electrical connection to the shielding.
