ABSTRACT:
An electrical cable connector assembly (10) includes an insulator (16) defining a plurality of receiving passageways (18, 20) therein for receiving a corresponding number of contacts (22, 24) therein wherein each contact has an IDC termination end (40) for engagement with the corresponding wire (46). A shunting device (60) includes a unitary body with fork-like piercing lances (68) thereon for engagement with the selective contacts. A pair of spacers (48, 50) are disposed on the upper and lower surfaces (21, 23) of the insulator (16) to providing a plurality of troughs (52) for receiving the corresponding wires (46) therein. A pair of metal shields (82, 84) are attached to the exterior of the spacers (48, 50). A pair of covers (90, 91) are respectively positioned on the exterior of the corresponding metal shields (82, 84) for protection and fastening the internal parts therein. A front shell (76) and an associated attachment housing (70) are fastened to a front portion of the insulator (16) for defining a mating end of the connector assembly (10). A strain relief (102) is assembled to the rear end of the covers (90, 91) for preventing improper undesired impact upon connection between the wires (46) and the corresponding contacts (22, 24), due to pulling force applied on the cable.
