Abstract
A cable connector with two sets of clamping plates for applying a clamping force and reducing the impact of impedance discontinuity includes an insulating base, a housing, a signal terminal, and two ground terminals. The insulating base has a top portion concavely provided with a receiving space. The housing is mounted on the insulating base and has a through hole corresponding to the receiving space. The signal terminal and the ground terminals are set separately in a bottom portion of the insulating base, have top portions respectively configured for clamping a coaxial cable extending into the receiving space, and have bottom portions soldered respectively to a signal contact and a ground contact on a circuit board. One of the ground terminals is adjacent to the signal terminal to reduce the impact of impedance discontinuity. The other ground terminal applies an additional clamping force to the coaxial cable.
