ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR FOR A SHIELDED CABLE

摘要

A connector for a shielded cable includes a plug-like terminal matably receivable by a receptacle. A shielding member disposed within the plug-like terminal is electrically connected to the cable shield. A portion of the dielectric casing of the terminal is cut out to expose a portion of the shielding member. The receptacle carries a ground contact connection in a position registrable with the exposed portion of the shielding member so that when the plug-like terminal is inserted into the receptacle the exposed portion of the shielding member electrically contacts and engages the ground connection contact within the receptacle.
