Abstract: An electrical connector which comprises a circular shell (20) in which a dielectric housing (44) having rows of electrical contacts (50) mounted therein is to be positioned, the electrical contacts including receptacle sections (52), matable electrical contacts (63, 81) having contact sections for matable engagement with the receptacle sections (52) and terminating sections for electrical connection to electrical conductors (54) of a cable (12), and dielectric contact-mounting members (67, 85, 87, 89) on which the matable electrical contacts (63, 81) are mounted whereby the matable electrical contacts are arranged in rows so that the contact sections of the matable electrical contacts (63, 81) of each row are electrically connected with the respective receptacle sections (52) of the electrical contacts (50) in the corresponding row of electrical contacts in the dielectric housing (44).

Abstract: An electrical cable assembly (1) is adapted with a circuit board (9) for connection of a pin connector (2) to a cable (2), and wherein, signal pins (5) of the connector (2) connect to contact pads (10) on a first side (11) of the circuit board (9), insulated conductors (7) of the cable (2) connect to contact pads (10') on a second side (12) of the circuit board (9), and ground pins (6) of the connector (2) and conducting shields (18) on the insulated conductors (7) connect to a ground plane (14) on the circuit board (9).
