SHIELDED CONNECTOR FOR SHIELDED COAXIAL INDIVIDUAL CONDUCTORS OF FLAT RIBBON CABLE

摘要

The invention relates to a terminating connector for use with individual conductors of a shielded coaxial type flat ribbon cable assembly. A bushing is threaded onto the outer sheath of the individual conductors and holds a drain wire which is connected to a shield of the individual conductors between the bushing threads and the outer sheath of the conductor. The bushing is then secured to a shielding housing by means of a securing assembly with the shielding housing including a central contact in insulative isolation therefrom and contacting the central conductor of the conductor. Locking means serve to engage a like locking assembly of a corresponding connector to provide a tight secure shielded connection between the individual conductors of the flat ribbon cable and equipment or other like individual conductors of flat ribbon cable.
