20140322977 | QUICK DISCONNECT CONNECTOR WITH INTEGRAL SUPPRESSION DIODE - An electrical connector assembly for suppressing a back electromotive force (“EMF”) spike originating from an electromagnetic device is provided. The electrical connector assembly includes a pin-side electrical connector coupled to the electromagnetic device. In one example, the pin-side electrical connector has a diode opening surrounded by an insulating material. The electrical connector assembly further includes a socket-side electrical connector for mechanically mating with and electrically coupling to the pin-side electrical connector. The socket-side electrical connector includes a suppression diode for suppressing the back EMF spike from the electromagnetic device. The suppression diode is positioned within the diode opening when the socket-side electrical connector is mechanically mated with and electrically coupled to the pin-side electrical connector. | 10-30-2014 |
20130267119 | ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE SHIELD FOR QUICK DISCONNECT CONNECTOR - An electrical connector assembly is provided having an electromagnetic interference shield. The electrical connector assembly includes a backshell having a backshell bore and a shielding ferrule positioned within the backshell bore to provide an electromagnetic interference shield. The shielding ferrule includes an outer ferrule portion arranged circumferentially around an internal ferrule bore, and a shielding adapter received within the backshell bore of the backshell. The shielding adapter includes a cable extending longitudinally through the shielding adapter and the internal ferrule bore, the shielding adapter engaging the shielding ferrule such that axial movement of the shielding adapter towards the shielding ferrule radially compresses the shielding ferrule onto the cable. The shielding ferrule provides a substantially 360° electromagnetic interference shield around the cable. | 10-10-2013 |
