EMI Shielding enclosure for a cable connector

An EMI shielding enclosure for a cable connector is formed of aluminum and has an aperture 44 therein to receive potting compound 46 to secure the wires 28 to the connector body. The braided inner cover 26 of the cable 24 is formed into a pig tail 34 and is secured in the back-shell 40 by the potting compound 46. The outer braided cover 30 of the cable, which is the braided shield, is also terminated in a pig tail 36 which is folded back on itself and through the end plate or strain relief means 38 of the enclosure. The strain relief means 38 is welded 42 to the back-shell 40 and a rivet 48 plugs the potting aperture 44 in the back-shell 40 after which a rubberized boot 50 is formed over the enclosure. Prior to forming the boot 50, the back-shell 40 is staked or secured to the connector body. The result is a solid, secure EMI shielded enclosure for a cable connector and operates with either a straight or elbow back-shell 40.
