Electrical connector and method for mounting the same on an electrical cable

摘要

An electrical connector includes an insulator body (3) with a terminal pin unit (35), a metal housing (5), and a metal protective shield (7). The electrical connector is mounted on an electrical cable (8) that transmits signals between electrical equipment by a process, which includes the steps of: (1) passing the cable (8) through the shield (7) to connect electrically with the terminal pin unit (35) on the insulator body (3); (2) placing the insulator body (3) into the shield (7) in such a manner that the terminal pin unit (35) is exposed partially to exterior of the shield (7); (3) fastening the housing (5) onto the shield (7) so as to clamp the insulator body (3) between the housing (5) and the shield (7); and (4) pressing inwardly and sleeving tightly a portion of the shield (7) on the cable (8).
