More Information
Summary:An electrical connector assembly (10) is disclosed which includes a shield and frame member (12, 36) wherein at least a portion thereof is conductive, a plurality of modular sub-assemblies (30) with each module having a dielectric housing (82) in which a plurality of terminals (42) are mounted, and a conductive shield member (84) is secured to conductive shielding (96) of at least one shielded cable (28). Each terminal is electrically connected to a conductor contained within one of the at least one shielded cable. A latch mechanism (34, 86, 90) is provided for removably securing each modular sub-assembly to the shield and frame member. An interconnection mechanism (32, 34, 84 86) is also provided for electrically connecting the electrically conductive portion of the shield and frame member to the conductive shield member to complete the ground circuit between the conductive shielding of the shielded cable and the conductive portion of the shield and frame member.
