Hi, When wiring in a panel mounted usb receptacle for ADU and EMU logging, should the metal connector body be attached to the shield? My panel mount has a pin for this.
Yes, after checking two things:
- Make sure the body is not connected to the ground inside the connector.
- Make sure the body is not touching the vehicle’s ground when mounted.
If both are satisfied, you can connect the body to the shield.
If not, don’t connect it.
