ABSTRACT:
A grounding plate having a flanged edge wall continuously around its periphery is press fit into the open end of a connector part shell. The plate provides a continuous intimate contacting relationship between the plate flange and the inner wall of the connector shell. A plurality of openings are formed in the plate aligned with the connector contacts contained within the connector part. A length of shielding braid, which can be identical to that carried by a cable wire has one open end soldered onto a cable wire shield. A metal ferrule grounding plug has an open end which is soldered or otherwise electrically and mechanially secured to the other end of length of shield braid. The outer end of the grounding plug has a radially outwardly directed flange and a slotted side wall, such that the plug on being inserted into a grounding plate opening is compressed, and then when the flange has passed through the plate it snaps outwardly to lock the plug in place. An alternative form includes a removable grounding plate held within the connector part end by an end cap or connector shell extender.
