Abstract: A connector for coaxial and/or twinaxial cables for connecting the cables to regularly arranged signal and ground contact pins comprises a housing of insulating material and female signal and ground contacts regularly arranged in the housing. Further, the connector comprises an outer conductor enclosing at least one signal contact. The female signal and ground contacts are provided with identical parts which can be plugged on the contact pins. The outer conductor encloses at least a signal and a ground contact and the ground contact is connected with the outer conductor.

Abstract: A connector assembly for interconnecting optical and/or electrical conductors comprises a first connector part with a first guiding plate with one or more guiding channels for first conductors and a second connector part to be coupled with the first connector part and having a second guiding plate with one or more guiding channels provided in a corresponding manner for second conductors to be connected with the first conductors. The guiding plates comprise positioning means for mutually positioning the guiding plates in the coupled position of the connector parts, said positioning means comprising a first lug and a first slot with cooperating straight reference surfaces extending in x-direction and a second lug and second slot with cooperating straight reference surfaces extending in y-direction. All said reference surfaces are located at a predetermined location with respect to the guiding channels.
