Abstract

An electrical connector in which one connector member contains a grounding ring having a wall of "C"-shaped configuration in longitudinal section. When the mating halves of the connector are interengaged, the shell of the other connector member slides into the grounding ring deflecting the inner peripheral wall thereof outwardly. The ring provides a windowless EMI/RFI grounding shield for the connector.
