Abstract

An electrical connection assembly includes a connector and a cable. The connector includes a plug having a multitude of contacts in electrical communication with the cable wires. The connector further includes a body in which a printed circuit board is inserted. The cable wires are soldered to the bonding pads of the printed circuit board which is encapsulated by an adhesive. The connector further includes a metallic shield enclosing the body and providing a path to the ground. An inner mold encapsulates the space enclosed by the metallic shield. The metallic shield is optionally formed from a pair of metallic shields cans that are crimped and laser welded. The assembly further includes a sleeve attached at a rear face of the metallic shield, an enclosure attached to the connector body, and a pair of face plates attached between the enclosure and the body.
