Abstract
An electrical connector includes a dielectric body mounting a plurality of terminals adapted for terminating the conductors of an electrical cable extending rearwardly from the body. A conductive shield casing substantially surrounds portions of the dielectric body and at least the terminations between the terminals and the conductors. A dielectric outer sheath substantially surrounds at least a rear portion of the conductive shield casing. A cap is fitted about the cable and covers substantially entirely the rear periphery of the dielectric outer sheath. A dielectric boot is overmolded about the cable, the cap and the rear periphery of the outer sheath. The cap prevents ingress of any overmolding material into the sheath and the interior of the connector.
