Abstract
An electrical connector of the plug type comprises a dielectric housing member in which electrical terminals are secured, contact sections of the electrical terminals extend outwardly from a front surface of the dielectric housing member, and conductor-securing sections of the electrical terminals are to be connected to electrical conductors of a shielded cable. Metal clamshell members are mounted on the dielectric housing member forming an outer contact surrounding the dielectric housing member so that a front section covers the contact sections of the electrical terminals and a rear section is to be connected to a shield of the shielded cable. An insulating sleeve is disposed on the clamshell members and the cable. The conductor-securing sections are electrically connected to the electrical conductors and the electrical terminals are latchably secured in terminal passageways of the dielectric housing member, the rear section of the outer conductor has the shield positioned thereon so that a ferrule member can be crimped onto the rear section crimping the shield between the rear section and the ferrule member and, securing the clamshell members in position on the dielectric housin…
