Electronic interface
View Patent ↗An electronic interface is provided and includes a shield having a first shield element, a second shield element, and a connection section. The second shield element is spaced apart from the first shield element along a length of the shield and has a width different than a width of the first shield element. The connection section electrically connects the first shield element and the second shield element.
1. An electronic interface, comprising:
a shield comprising:
a first shield element having a catch receiving passageway;
a second shield element spaced apart from the first shield element along a length of the interface and having a width different than a width of the first shield element;
a connection section electrically connecting to the first shield element and the second shield element; and
a second connection section positioned opposite the connection section between the first shield element and the second shield element, the second connection section including a projection extending toward a sidewall of the first shield element having a shield catch device extending from the projection and engaging the catch receiving passageway; and
a contact assembly positioned inside the shield and having a contact catch device that snap-fits behind the shield catch device.
2. The electronic interface according to claim 1 , wherein the connection section extends about a periphery of the first shield element and the second shield element.
3. The electronic interface according claim 1 , wherein the first shield element is an interface shield.
4. The electronic interface according claim 3 , wherein the second shield element is a base shield.
5. The electronic interface according claim 4 , wherein the base shield is wider than the interface shield along a transverse section thereof.
6. The electronic interface according claim 1 , wherein the connection section is integrally constructed with the first shield element and the second shield element.
7. The electronic interface according claim 1 , wherein the second connection section extends from the second shield element and is releasably connected to the first shield element.
8. The electronic interface according claim 1 , wherein the projection is a lug bent towards the first shield element.
9. The electronic interface according claim 1 , wherein the shield further includes a stop.
10. The electronic interface according claim 1 , wherein the contact catch device is a contact catch receiving passageway.
