Electrical connector

摘要

An electrical connector for a flat cable having alternate signal and ground conductors. The connector comprises a housing containing a row of contacts therein each having an insulation piercing, core penetrating section. A mandrel is mounted on the housing forcing the signal conductors of the cable into the termination sections of the contacts. The ground conductors of the cable lie across the top of the housing and a ground buss bar having a plurality of insulation piercing, core penetrating jaws is forced down upon the ground conductors to electrically interconnect the same. The ends of the ground buss bar engage the contacts at the ends of the row of contacts in the connector housing.
