[0002] The current new energy industry develops rapidly, and the connector is widely used in the efficient transmission and charging and discharging of electric energy. The connector needs good shielding effect. At present, in order to achieve good heat dissipation effect, the connector generally uses liquid cooling cable. However, there are some problems.

Secondly, the liquid cooling pipe and the shield cannot effectively cooperate. In order to ensure the liquid cooling effect, the electromagnetic shielding is not good, the equipment is easy to be disturbed, and the shielding protection is weak. In order to reduce electromagnetic interference, some connectors increase the wrapping of the conductor with multiple shielding materials, but this solution has the problem of high cost. SUMMARY
