Abstract
A connector housing and method for minimizing EMI emissions from an electrical transmission cable is disclosed which includes providing a series of interrupt elements in each half of the connector housing which interlock together when the halves are clamped together about the electrical transmission cable. The interrupt elements provide discontinuity along the length of the interface joint which reduces the emission of interference signals from the housing. Preferably the housing connector and interference elements are molded from plastic material and plated with a metallic shield material.
