Abstract
The high-speed electrical transmission cable connector assembly of this invention includes an electrical connector having a connector backshell with an internal cavity for receiving an electrical insert to interface with an electrical interface device. An adequate amount of space is provided by the internal cavity within the backshell for routing wires of the transmission cable through a neck in an entrance side of the backshell to terminate within the insert. The backshell has a truncated side and a short lateral side for saving space and weight of the electrical connector. A grounding terminal is carried within the internal cavity of the backshell adjacent to the neck on a short neck side for grounding wires within a short distance inside the backshell. An attachment and release mechanism is provided for connecting and disconnecting the interface device to the electrical insert within the backshell. A pair of attachment clips are provided inside a clip channel on two sides of the backshell for attaching and releasing the interface device to the electrical connector.
