Electrical connector for balanced transmission cables with module for positioning cables

摘要

A first insulator (20) is combined with a connector body 50 comprising a second insulator (60), signal contacts (80) and ground contacts (70). The first insulator (20) is provided with separator accommodation slits (22); and cable receiving portions (24). Each cable receiving portion (24) is arranged between the respective neighboring separator accommodation slits (22) and is able to hold one of the balanced transmission cables (200). Separators (90) connected to ground contacts (70) are fitted within the separator accommodation slits (22) so that end portions of balanced transmission cables (200) are positioned between the respective neighboring separators (90) and are electrically shielded by them. The first insulator (20) holds ground plates (30) so that each of the cable receiving portions (24) is also arranged between the ground plates (30). The separators (90) and the ground plates (30) define tubular enclosures for surrounding end portions of the respective balanced transmission cables.
