A connector assembly is provided comprising a device including a
conductive device shroud forming a device plug receptacle. A cable
element includes a first stripped cable end portion exposing an internal
cable conductor and a third stripped cable portion exposing a cable
ground shield. A terminal element is mounted to the first stripped cable
end portion. A ground busbar includes a cable mount end mounted to the
third stripped cable portion and a ground terminal end. A conductive
overmolded connector body is molded covering at least a portion of said
third stripped cable portion and comprising a connector plug portion
configured to fit within the device plug receptacle. The first stripped
cable end portion protrudes out of the connector plug portion and the
ground terminal end protrudes outside the conductive overmolded connector
body such that the ground terminal end is placed in electrical
communication with the conductive device shroud when the connector plug
portion is placed within the device plug receptacle.
