Abstract
An electromagnetically shielded connector system includes a first and second connector. The first connector further includes a first terminal and a first electromagnetic shield surrounding the first terminal. The first shield defines a flexible interface contact projecting from an end of the first shield. The second connector further includes a second terminal configured to mate with the first terminal and a second electromagnetic shield surrounding the second terminal. The second shield is configured to be electrically connected with the first shield at least via the flexible interface contact. The second shield is surrounded by a supporting member. At least a portion of an outer surface of the second shield is in intimate contact with the supporting member. The second shield is configured to be disposed intermediate the interface contact and the supporting member. The interface contact is formed and configured to exert a normal spring force on the second shield.
