Abstract: A plug-type connector is provided having shield elements that surround signal-carrying conductor parts. Shielding plates are placed in slots in walls of receptacle chambers which house a spring contact strip. Shield elements are disposed in slots in a wall or floor of the blade connector. The shielding plates of the spring contact strip (8) include transverse shielding plates (14) and longitudinal shielding plates (13) fashioned comb-like so that they interfit and interconnect. The shielding plates (13, 14) are provided with incisions of a predetermined width at a front region of the receptacle chambers (11), having the respective corners bent off in a predetermined direction. Thin, additional contact pins (3) are anchored in the blade connector (1) and are connected to ground. These pins (3) are provided at the intersections of the shield elements and contact the shielding plates (13, 14) of the spring contact strip (8) at four points in the front region of the receptacle chambers (11).

Abstract: An electrical connector plug, especially for use on circuit boards and electronic device interfaces, includes a synthetic material plug body (2) having narrow slots (5) provided therein. The slots (5) surround contact chambers (3) provided in the plug body (2). Electrically conducting shielding elements (6) are inserted in the slots (5) and are interconnected in a conducting manner as necessary to provide a shielding potential cage around the conducting contacts. In this manner a substantially coaxial shielding is provided around each electrical conductor contact (4). The shielded connector plug has substantially the same overall dimensions and the same contact pin configuration as conventional connector plugs and it is not necessary to sacrifice any of the conductor pin contacts to provide shielding contacts. By appropriately selecting materials for the components of the connector plug, magnetic shielding effects and filter effects can be achieved in the connector plug.
