  • Enhanced performance data connector
    Patent number: 5830015
    Abstract: A shielded electrical data connector terminates a shielded multiconductor cable. The data connector includes an insulative housing having a conductive housing shield therein. A contact holding member is accommodated in the connector housing and supports a row of plural spaced electrical contacts thereon. A contact shield is supported by the contact holding member. The contact shield has a shield extension extending between at least two of the contacts so as to reduce cross-talk as between the two contacts. The contact shield is electrically commoned with the housing shield to maintain continuous electrical shielding.
    Type: Grant
