Insulation displacement connector

摘要

Each grounding plate 31 or 32 includes main body 31b or 32b and grounding bars 31a or 32a which extend forward from the main body 31b or 32b. The grounding bars 31a or 32a and the signal lines Ce of coaxial cables are sandwiched between an insulation displacement piece 11 or 12 and the housing 10 to press the grounding bars 31a or 32a and the signal lines Ce into the insulation displacement portions Ta of the contacts T in the housing. The grounding plates 31 and 32 include barrels 33 to which the shielding wires Cc of the coaxial cables are connected for retaining the coaxial cables C in alignment such that the shielding wires Cc and the grounding bars 31a and 32a are electrically connected. In this way, an insulation displacement connector for coaxial cables is realized to make the connection of the coaxial cables to the contacts easy even for a multi-terminal connector and to prevent faults in the performance of the connector.
