Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes a shielded wire cable having an inner core, an inner insulator surrounding the inner core, a cable shield surrounding the inner insulator, and an outer insulator surrounding the cable shield, a terminal attached to the inner core, a terminal shield surrounding the terminal, and a cable seal formed of an electrically conductive resilient material, wherein a first portion of the cable seal is in compressive contact with portions of the cable shield and the terminal shield, thereby providing an electrically conductive path between the cable shield and the terminal shield. The electrical connector assembly further includes a housing in which the terminal is disposed. A second portion of the cable seal is in compressive contact with a portion of the outer insulator and an inner wall of the housing, thereby inhibiting intrusion of contaminants into the housing.
