Disclosed herein is an improved plug and receptacle connector assembly for use with shielded cables. The assembly includes a plug, connected to the shielded cable, having a mating end received within a receptacle housing which is mounted to a printed circuit board. Plug terminals located adjacent the mating end of the plug each have a pair of spaced-apart outwardly extending contact projections, with a receptacle terminal receiving region formed therebetween. The receptacle terminals include a cantilevered contact portion mounted in the receptacle housing, having a concave region received between the plug terminal contact projections, when the plug and receptacle are mated for separable electrical connection. The outside surface of the plug is enclosed by a stamped conductive shield member having free ends which are butted together to form an axial seam. The free ends of the shield adjacent the seams are reversely bent to form transverse flanges which slidingly engage the plug housing to prevent separation of the shield seam, and to provide secure engagement between the plug housing and shield members. Two preferred embodiments of the invention are described, one for a flat cable arrangement and the other for a round cable arrangement. The two plug embodiments are mateable with the same receptacle arrangement.
