Sensor connector
First Claim
1. A sensor connector comprising an outer housing securely fixable to a sensor, the outer housing having a cavity extending therethrough for receiving a shielded sensor cable therein at one end and contacts of the sensor at the other end the connector further comprising a connection section mounted in the outer housing for interconnecting leads of the cable to the sensor contacts characterized in that the connection section comprises an insulative housing and terminals for connection to the leads, and a conductive shield member mounted transverse to the passage of the outer housing cavity to extend substantially fully across the cavity except for around the terminals which project through the shield member.

Abstract
A sensor connector comprises a conductive outer housing within which is mounted a certain length of shielded able connected to receptacle terminals that receive pins of a sensor. A shield element extends across the inside of the outer housing to provide a shield means between the sensor and the cable leads which, in one embodiment, is stamped and formed, and in another embodiment is a printed circuit board with a ground plane on one side and surface mounted capacitors on the other side interconnected to the terminals for filtering the signal.
