Abstract
An electrical connector assembly disclosed which includes a shield and frame member wherein at least a portion thereof is conductive, a plurality of modular sub-assemblies with each module having a dielectric housing in which a plurality of terminals are mounted, and a conductive shield member is secured to conductive shielding of at least one shielded cable. Each terminal is electrically connected to a conductor contained within one of the at least one shielded cable. A latch mechanism is provided for removably securing each modular sub-assembly to the shield and frame member. An interconnection mechanism is also provided for electrically connecting the electrically conductive portion of the shield and frame member to the conductive shield member to complete the ground circuit between the conductive shielding of the shielded cable and the conductive portion of the shield and frame member.
