Electrical connector including means for terminating the shield of a high speed cable

摘要

An electrical connector (14) includes a dielectric housing (60) and a plurality of terminals (24,32) mounted therein. A conductive ground blade (28) is mounted in the housing and includes at least a pair of positioning arms (52) projecting therefrom for engaging the metallic shields of a pair of coaxial cables. A partition (96) on the housing extends between the positioning arms (52) to separate the coaxial cables and maintain the metallic shields near the positioning arms.
