Title:
CONNECTOR WITH WEAR-RESISTANT ENGAGEMENT MEANS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001076019
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A connector is formed with a metal shell for use as a shield of the connector. The shell has a pair of tab members formed along its front face that are stamped to provide two metal contact points. These tabs are engaged by metal contact arms formed on a shield of an opposing connector. The metal to metal contact that results from the tab members decreases wear and abrasion and also serves as a conductive connection between the two connector shields.
