Abstract
An electrical connector for several screened cables has a transverse metal ground plate formed with rectangular apertures, one for each cable. The conductors in each cable are secured at their ends in contacts and these are supported in rectangular insulating beads. The screen of each cable extends over the bead and is trapped in position within a metal cage secured to the outside of the bead. The cage is a resilient push fit in a respective one of the apertures so that the screens are connected via the cage to the ground plate.
