1. A method for reducing the effect of electromagnetic interference (EMI) to provide EMI protection to a connector assembly having a conductive outer housing, said method comprising the steps of:
providing said connector assembly with a conductive outer housing;
providing said conductive outer housing with at least one tab, said at least one tab being contiguous to said conductive outer housing and extending within an inside portion of said conductive outer housing;
providing said at least one tab with a conductive coating;
inserting said conductive outer housing into another conductive outer housing, said at least one tab of said conductive outer housing being in contact with said another conductive outer housing;
conducting said EMI, generated by at least said conductive outer housing, to said at least one tab;
conducting said EMI from said at least one tab to said another conductive outer housing; and
thereafter conducting said EMI from said another conductive outer housing to a ground.
