CONTACT CONNECTING OF SHIELDED DATA LINES TO A BOARD AND METHOD FOR CONTACTING A NUMBER OF SHIELDED DATA LINES WITH A BOARD

摘要

With the contact connecting of preferably a number of shielded conductor pairs (4) to a board (2) in particular of a plug (36) for high-speed data connections, the board (2) is formed of multiple layers and comprises a conductor path tier (18) and a ground tier (26). A ground contact zone (28) of the ground tier (26) projects, in a tongue-like manner, towards the connected conductor pairs (4). In the region of the ground contact zone (28), the individual conductor pairs (4) are pressed in contact against the corresponding pair shielding (10) thereof. To this end, in particular a clamping element (32) is provided that is also used to achieve the shield contacting.
