Lower ground shield has flanges flanking cable receiving opening in rear wall which fit flushly in cable receiving opening in rear wall of lower cover inserter member has cable receiving aperture therethrough which opens in dovetail slot which engages dovetail flanges on rear wall of lower housing to prevent overstressing openings in lower shield and housing when cable with contact ferrule is inserted therein.
