Abstract: A cable connector allows the electrical contacts thereof to come into elastic contact with a ground plate when the cable connector connecting with a shielded cable is fit-connected to a PCB connector through the ground plate. The contact effectiveness of the electrical contacts is improved so that a shield-ground path from the shielded cable to the ground plate has a low impedance. The connector is provided with electrical contacts which are composed of generally U-like bent spring plates. Each spring plate is supported at one end thereof on the shield shell, and comes into elastic contact with the ground plate when the cable connector is fitted into the mating connector.
