Abstract
The present disclosure describes an electrical connector for use with a printed wiring board. The connector design is characterized by an inner housing of insulative material for supporting a plurality of electrical contacts and an outer insulative structure which encloses the housing and is easily removable therefrom. The latter permits the cleaning of the electrical contacts after a soldering operation and also allows for the replacement of individual defective contacts. Additionally, if required for impedance or electrical interference considerations, the present connector utilizes an integral ground conductor plane which substantially encloses its outer insulative structure and is electrically connected to the ground plane of the printed wiring board.
