Electrical connector assembly with RF impedance element

A connector and a shield ring for use with the connector include a male head section having a shield and a center conductor and a female head section having a jack and a socket positioned to receive the center conductor. A conductive shielding ring is positioned between mating connector segments. The shield ring has a body configured to surround the flexible tines of the receptacle of the female head section and configured to be captured between the tines and the shield to provide a ground path between the male head section and the female head section of the connector. The shield ring body has an inner surface with a diameter and an outer surface with a diameter, and has a tapered section formed on a distal end of the shield ring body for engaging a surface of the shroud. The shield ring body has a lip extending radially inwardly at a proximal end for engaging the tines of the female head section when the male head section and the female head section of the connector mate. 一种连接器和与该连接器一起使用的屏蔽环，包括具有护罩和中心导体的公头部段
