Abstract
A barrier device for an electrical connector is disclosed. In embodiments, the barrier device can comprise a first barrier element interposedly arranged between a substrate and a base assembly of the electrical connector. A second barrier element arranged for mating engagement with an upper surface of the substrate of the electrical connector; the second barrier element comprising a plurality of openings defined by a plurality of protruding structures that are configured and arranged to accommodate electronic components mounted to the upper surface of the substrate. The barrier device is designed such that the collective arrangement and positioning of the first barrier element and the second barrier element relative to substrate forms a thermal protection barrier and damping mechanism around the substrate.
