Abstract (en)

In an electrical connector assembly, an electrically conductive ferrule (40) terminated to a free end of a coaxial cable and having external thread (54) and an end face (46) and an electrically conductive connector shell (12) having internal thread (18) and an end wall (16), the thread interengaging to draw the ferrule (40) into the shell (12) so that the end wall (16) is in metal-to-metal abutment with the end face (46). Abutment between the end wall and end face and engagement between the theads provides the assembly with two ground paths, whereby the terminated end of the coaxial cable is shielded from RFI. Thread (58) on the ferrule (40), also of the same sense as the other thread, engages the braid (36).
