Abstract: A terminal assembly is configured to terminate a shielded cable having an inner conductor, an inner insulator surrounding the inner conductor, an outer conductor surrounding the inner insulator, and an outer insulator surrounding the outer conductor. This terminal assembly includes a generally cylindrical outer ferrule formed of a plastic conductive material, i.e. a material that is deformed after stress is removed, and a generally cylindrical inner ferrule formed of an elastic dielectric material i.e. a material that recovers after stress is removed, having a plurality of circumferential grooves defined in an outer surface thereof. At least a portion of the inner ferrule is disposed within the outer ferrule. A portion of the outer conductor is disposed intermediate the inner ferrule and the outer ferrule and is in intimate contact therewith.

Abstract: A connector-assembly includes a housing, a terminal-position-assurance device, and a resistor-assembly. The housing includes a plurality of electrical-terminals. The terminal-position-assurance device is configured to retain the plurality of electrical-terminals within the housing. The resistor-assembly is disposed within the terminal-position-assurance device and includes a first-spring-terminal, a second-spring-terminal, and a resistor disposed between the first-spring-terminal and the second-spring-terminal. The first-spring-terminal and the second-spring-terminal are in separate electrical-communication with at least one of the plurality of electrical-terminals. The resistor has connection-leads disposed within slots formed in both the first-spring-terminal and the second-spring-terminal, and is disposed within channels formed in the terminal-position-assurance device.

Abstract: An electrical connector (12) has a body (20) with a shorting clip (26) mounted at a distal end (24) of the body (20). The clip (26) axially extends into a cavity (22) of the body and normally shorts two electrical male terminals (25) housed within the body (20).
