Abstract

A triaxial contact assembly for terminating a screened twisted pair of wires comprises three contact members (12,14,16) and a ferrule (18). The inner contact (12) is of conventional construction but the intermediate contact member (14) consists of an intermediate contact (20) to which are secured the inner insulator (34) and a spacer member (40). The outer insulator (54) is fixed to the outer contact (52). The number of separate components required to be assembled by the operator is thus reduced and assembly made quicker and easier.
