Abstract

An electrical connector is provided for terminating a coaxial cable having at least an inner conductor and an outer conductive shield. The connect-or includes a coaxial cable carrier for receiving the coaxial cable and including a ground terminal, the carrier being in engagement with the conductive shield of the cable. A terminal module includes an insulator mounting a signal terminal. The module is assembled on the carrier to form a subassembly with the signal terminal generally parallel to the ground terminal. A conductive shielding shell receives the subassembly with the conductive shell being in engagement with the coaxial cable carrier. A cover is mounted on the shell for holding the conductor of the cable in engagement with the signal terminal of the terminal module.
