Electrical connector strain relief with shield ground for multiple cables

摘要

A cable connector (20) for terminating a plurality of cables (26) in a clamping manner and matable with a complementary connector (10). Cable connector (20) includes a housing (32) and a backshell subassembly (62) having a pair of covers (66,68) and a pair of inserts (70,72) and can include a ground assembly (120) for gang termination of ferrule-terminated braid portions of shielded signal cables. Ground assembly (120) includes a commoning strip (122) compressed between ferrules (58) of the two rows of cables (26), and further includes a conductor (124) extending to a ground terminal (128) in housing (32).
