CONNECTOR FOR RIBBON COAXIAL CABLE

摘要

A cable assembly (10) made up a plurality of co-planar individual coaxial cables, each having a signal wire (12) and a coaxial conductive sheath (14) including a ground wire (16) coplanar with the signal wires (12), are terminated by inserting the end of the cable assembly (10) in a housing component (50) which also receives an array of insulation displacement contacts (82) supported by another housing component (70) along an axis transverse to the plane of the cable assembly. Each signal wire (12) and each ground wire (16) is then electrically contacted by a respective one of the insulation displacement contacts (82a, 82b). The cable assembly is secured to the first housing (50) which is also secured to the other housing component (70).
