Abstract
A connector assembly useful in grounding applications is provided which includes an insulative housing and a conductive ground shell. The insulative housing includes a passage into which a contact and a cable may be inserted, and a passage which provides access to an inserted contact and cable to facilitate electrical and mechanical connection thereof. Passages in the insulative housing are also provided for inserting legs of the conductive ground shell into the insulative housing to electrically engage the ground wire braid of the cable. The insulative housing and conductive ground shell are constructed and arranged so that the various components readily mate with one another.
