Abstract
A plug-type connector is provided having shield elements that surround signal-carrying conductor parts. Shielding plates are placed in slots in walls of receptacle chambers which house a spring contact strip. Shield elements are disposed in slots in a wall or floor of the blade connector. The shielding plates of the spring contact strip (8) include transverse shielding plates (14) and longitudinal shielding plates (13) fashioned comb-like so that they interfit and interconnect. The shielding plates (13, 14) are provided with incisions of a predetermined width at a front region of the receptacle chambers (11), having the respective corners bent off in a predetermined direction. Thin, additional contact pins (3) are anchored in the blade connector (1) and are connected to ground. These pins (3) are provided at the intersections of the shield elements and contact the shielding plates (13, 14) of the spring contact strip (8) at four points in the front region of the receptacle chambers (11).
