Abstract: In a connector which comprises an insulator body and conductive contacts fixedly held by the insulator body and is covered with a front shell protecting the conductive contacts and a pair of back shells brought into mechanical contact primarily with the insulator body and into electric contact with each other and with the front shell, a resilient conductive member is backwardly extended from the front shell and is resiliently deformed into mechanical contact with one of the back shells to thereby reinforce the electric contact in order to reliably cope with electromagnetic interference between the connector and its surroundings. Such a member may be extended forwardly from one of the back shells. Alternatively, such members may be extended from the front shell and/or the back shells.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for connecting an electrical connector with a cable. The electrical connector including a connector head having a plurality of contacts and a pair of cover adaptors to which wires of the cable may be arranged is connected with the cable by means of the apparatus including a press section, a die-set section and a slide-unit section. The head is supported to a portion of the apparatus, and the cover adaptors to which cables are arranged are respectively attached to the head by a single operation of a handle of the apparatus whereby the wires are connected with the respective contacts.
