DISPOSITIF DE CONNEXION PAR CABLE PLAT

摘要

A connector for a flat cable has two opposed rows of contacts. The flat cable has signal conductors and a flat shield member which is terminated further from the end of the cable than the signal conductors. A row of signal contacts are crimped onto the signal conductors. The shield contacts extend beyond the signal contacts. The signal contacts can be crimped onto the signal conductors without making contact with the shield member. The shield contacts carry a shield connection through the connector for each signal conductor. In this way the impedance mismatch at the termination of the cable is reduced and impedance continuity through the conductor is improved.
