Abstract

A connector for providing improved shielding of connections made in coaxial type wire is provided having a contact connected to the signal conductor of the coaxial wire located within a one piece insulator housing which completely surrounds the contact. An electrically conductive metallic coating is located on the entire outer surface of the insulator housing. The shield of the coaxial wire is connected to the electrically conductive metallic coating. A further metallic shield is folded around the metallic coated one piece insulator so as to provide a low resistance electrical path therebetween.
