Abstract
A shielded telecommunications connector comprising a conductive core having core side walls and a horizontal shield joined to and perpendicular to the side walls. At least one contact carrier contains a contact, the contact having an insulation displacement contact for making electrical connection with a wire, the contact carrier being positioned on the horizontal shield between the side walls. At least one termination cap receives the wire and the insulation displacement contact, the termination cap positioning the wire relative to the insulation displacement contact. Each of the sidewalls has a sidewall ledge and the termination cap includes two first lips positioned beneath the sidewall ledges. The horizontal shield extends beyond a length of the termination cap.
