Embodiment 1

[0059] Example 1: Salt spray test of connection system

[0060] 1- Experimental parameters

[0061] The salt spray test is carried out in the following connection system:

[0062] - Sample A: A connector assembly excluding a metal shield plate, which connector assembly is fastened to a housing of an electrical device with fastening means.

[0063] - Sample B: A connector assembly comprising a metal shield plate made of aluminum alloy 1050, this connector assembly being fastened to the housing of an electrical device with fastening means.

[0064] Interface shielding was measured prior to the test. For this, samples A and B were placed on the braid and the interface shielding was measured between the terminals of the multimeter. The result of the interface impedance shielding is thus representative of the entire connected system.

[0065] Subsequently, samples A and B were placed in a salt spray chamber and subjected to different tests. The experimental parameters are summ...

Embodiment 2

[0077] Example 2: Comparison of corrosion between metal shields made of different aluminum alloys.

[0078] The connection system described below was subjected to the salt spray test described in Example 1.

[0079] Sample 1: Connector assembly comprising a metal plate made of 1010 aluminum alloy (1XXX series); said connector assembly is fastened to the housing of an electrical device using fastening means.

[0080] Sample 2: A connector assembly comprising a metal plate made of 2017 aluminum alloy (2XXX series); said connector assembly is fastened to the housing of an electrical device using fastening means.

[0081] Sample 3: Connector assembly comprising a metal plate made of 5754 aluminum alloy (5XXX series); said connector assembly is fastened to the housing of an electrical device using fastening means.

[0082] After 80 cycles, the connector assemblies of Samples 1, 2 and 3 were removed from the housing of the electrical device to observe macroscopic corrosion.

Abstract

A connector assembly (10), fastened to an electrical control device, comprising a connector foot portion (1), fastened to the housing (6) of said electrical control device thanks to fastening devices (5) like screws, said connector foot portion (1) comprising a base metal shield plate (3), a connector body portion (2) having a body shield member (22), wherein said body shield member (22) is in electrical contact with said metal shield plate (3) and in that said metal shield plate (3) is in electrical continuity with said fastening devices.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to connector assemblies. Background technique [0002] Electrical controls are typically connected to the wiring harness by means of one or more electrical connectors. To achieve this electrical connection, a connector assembly (also referred to as a socket) is usually provided on the housing of the electrical control device. [0003] Additionally, signals and power passing through such connectors may experience electromagnetic interference (also known as "EMI") or may generate disturbances themselves. It is therefore beneficial to shield the signals and power passing through such connectors in order to increase immunity to incoming disturbances and to reduce the magnitude of disturbances produced. This arrangement is also known as "EMC" or Electromagnetic Compatibility. Contents of the invention [0004] The object of the invention is to improve the shielding of connector assemblies. [0005] According to the invent...
