Summary:An electrical connector assembly is disclosed for terminating a shielded insulated cable (88) having a conductor core (90) with a sheath (92) of insulation therearound, an outer insulating jacket (94) and a shield (96) between the sheath and the jacket. The connector assembly includes a connector housing (64) having a receptacle cavity (66). A preassembled module (58) is adapted to be received in the cavity. The module includes a dielectric insert housing (14) having a terminal-receiving passage (38). An electrically conductive signal terminal (56) is mounted in the passage for termination to the conductor core of the cable. An electrically conductive grounding terminal (12) is mounted on the outside of the insert housing for termination to the shield of the cable. Therefore, the insert housing (14), the signal terminal (56) and the grounding terminal (12) can be preassembled as a module (58) and inserted as a modular unit into the receptacle cavity in the connector housing. The grounding terminal and signal terminal include deformable wall portions ( 34,60) for termination to the shield (96) and the conductor core (90), respectively, of the cable in response to application of forces generally parallel to the longitudinal axis (A) of the cable (88).
