ABSTRACT:
A connector for providing electrical connections for a coax cable harness, the coax cable harness including a plurality of coax cables, each coax cable having a wire encased in a dielectric and having a drain wire. The connector comprises an insulation displacement connector having a plurality of insulation displacement contacts set in a top surface of the insulation displacement connector. Each insulation displacement contact engages a corresponding wire encased in the dielectric, the insulation displacement contact piercing the dielectric thereby providing the electrical connection for the wire of the coax cable. An orientation bar positions the coax cables to be in line with the corresponding insulation displacement contact, the coax cables resting on a top surface of the orientation bar. The orientation bar is positioned next to the insulation displacement connector such that a side surface of the insulation displacement connector is in contact or nearly in contact with the orientation bar. The orientation bar further has a plurality of holes from the top surface which extend to a bottom surface of the orientation bar, each hole being positioned under the corresponding coax cable in order to permit the corresponding drain wire of the coax cable to be inserted through the hole with the end portion of drain wire bent across the bottom surface of the orientation bar. A ground termination block, having a top surface placed opposite the bottom surface of the orientation bar and fixed against the drain wires bent across the bottom surface of the orientation bar, causes the drain wires to be in pressure contact between the ground termination block and the orientation bar, wherein at least one of the ground termination block or the orientation bar is made of an electrically conducting material.
