An electrical connector assembly permitting interconnection of signal and ground conductors in a shielded flat cable to a standard connector member having a different signal ground configuration is disclosed. An adapter member having an insulative housing base and cover can be secured to the connector member. A plurality of signal terminals can be disposed in the base member to form insulation displacement terminations to the signal conductors. Separate ground shields surrounding associated pairs of conductors can be commoned using a ground terminal having a single transverse bus strip which is deployed over the cable in the insulative base. The assembled adapter base is received within an outer conductive shell which interconnects an outer cable shield to the outer conductive shell of the standard electrical connector to form a continuous shield.
