Abstract
An electrical connector is provided for terminating a cable. The electrical connector includes an electrical contact configured to be terminated to an end of a wire of the cable, and a housing having a dielectric member and an electrically conductive material extending on the dielectric member. The electrical contact is held by the housing. The housing extends from a mating end to a cable end. The housing is configured to mate with a mating connector at the mating end. The cable end includes a shield fitting that is configured to hold an end of a shield of the cable such that the electrically conductive material of the housing is engaged with, and electrically connected to, the shield.
