  • Patent number: 7040924
    Abstract: A terminal block for a cable connector comprises a housing of insulating material, a number of signal contacts accommodated in contact cavities of the housing, at least one ground contact arranged between two adjacent signal contacts, and a planar circuit substrate having a ground layer on one side and circuit tracks on the opposite side connected to the signal contacts at one end and having a solder island for connection to a signal wire at the other end. The ground contact comprises a shielding contact blade having a contact lip connected to the ground layer of the circuit substrate and at least one contact lip projecting outwardly to contact the ground layer of a corresponding terminal block.

  • Patent number: 6719587
    Abstract: A connector comprises a housing of insulating material and a number of right-angled contact elements arranged in rows and columns. A right-angled shielding plate is arranged between all adjacent rows or adjacent groups of rows of contact elements. Further, adjacent columns or adjacent groups of columns of contact elements are separated by a vertical shielding plate. The right-angled and vertical shielding plates are provided with slots receiving the vertical and right-angled shielding plates, respectively. Contact parts are provided for interconnecting the right-angled and vertical shielding plates.
