Abstract
A circular cross section DIN connector comprises, a wire housing (10), a contact housing (12) and a shielding shell (14). The wire housing (10) has a through bore (16) for receiving an end portion of a shielded electrical cable (C) with wires thereof dressed into notches (32) at one end (30) of the wire housing (10) and extending over slots (34) in the bases (33) of the notches (32). The housings (10 and 12) are mated so that insulation displacement portions (64) of contact elements (42) of the contact housing (12) enter the slots (34) to make electrical contact with the cores of the wires (W). The mated housings (10 and 12) are received in the shell (14) which completely surrounds them. Parts (90) of the shell (14) are crimped down to engage the shielding braid (BS) of the cable (C) and firmly to retain the sub-assembly comprising the mated housings (10 and 12) in the shell (14) which is preferably a seamless drawn shell.
